Ingredients

6 cups Chex cereal

2 cups mini pretzels

2 cups white chocolate chips or white candy melts

1 cup mini M&M’s

1/2 cup cooked crispy bacon crumbles

1 cup dry roasted peanuts

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/4 cup sprinkles, optional

Instructions

1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.

2. Add Chex cereal, mini pretzels, peanuts, and crispy bacon crumbles to a large mixing bowl.

3. Melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts in the microwave in short intervals, stirring until smooth.

4. Stir vanilla extract and fine sea salt into the melted white chocolate.

5. Pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal mixture and gently fold until evenly coated.

6. Let the mixture cool slightly, then fold in the mini M&M’s and sprinkles.

7. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.

8. Let it set at room temperature until firm, then break into clusters and serve.

Notes

Do not overheat the white chocolate. Melt it slowly and stir often, because overheated white chocolate can become thick, clumpy, and difficult to coat evenly.
