Ingredients
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons butter room temperature
- 1 cup honey roasted peanuts
- 1 cup Corn Pops cereal
- 1 cup Honey Nut Cheerios
- 1 cup Rice Chex cereal
- 1 ¼ cup Pretzel sticks
- ½ cup M&M candies
- 1 ½ cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup red candy melt wafers
- ½ cup white chocolate chip
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together honey-roasted peanuts, corn pops, Cheerios, Rice Chex, and pretzel sticks. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, over medium heat mix together butter and maple syrup until butter is melted.
- Pour the butter/maple syrup mixture of the cereal mix. Stir well to coat everything.
- Pour the coasted cereal mixture onto the cookie sheet. Cook in a pre-heated oven for 20 minutes.
- Gently mix to break any big clusters. Put back in the oven for 10 minutes.
- During the last 10 minutes, in a microwave-safe bowl melt the candy melt and the white chocolate chips.
- After the 10 minutes, pour your melted candy cane mixture over the cookie sheet. Sprinkle your chocolate chips and let it cool completely.
- Once cooled, break in small pieces and enjoy!
Notes
- For gluten free, choose gluten free cereals and pretzels.
- Try wheat Chex and other whole wheat cereals/pretzels if desired.
- Add in festive holiday sprinkles or candies if desired (peppermints are great here!)
- Switch out the semi-sweet chocolate chips for cinnamon, peanut butter, caramel, or dark chocolate varieties.
- Use different nuts like cashews, pistachios, or pecans instead of peanuts.
