Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 5 cups rice chex cereal
- 10 ounces (280 grams) white melting chocolate
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) powdered sugar (white or colored pink)
- 1 cup mini pretzels (Snyder’s Gluten Free recommended)
Decorative Ingredients:
- 6 ounces (170 grams) Valentine’s Day M&Ms
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a spacious sheet pan with parchment paper, then transfer Chex cereal into a generously sized mixing bowl. Position a gallon-size zip-top bag nearby, filled with powdered sugar.
- Melt white chocolate using microwave technique: heat in precise 30-second intervals, thoroughly stirring between each session. For alternative method, utilize double boiler approach until chocolate transforms into smooth, glossy consistency.
- Drench cereal completely with melted white chocolate, ensuring thorough and uniform coverage. Carefully transfer approximately half the chocolate-coated mixture into powdered sugar bag, sealing and vigorously shaking to create comprehensive sugar coating.
- Incorporate pretzels into remaining chocolate-glazed cereal, gently folding to distribute evenly. Spread mixture across prepared parchment paper, generously scattering colorful sprinkles and Valentine-themed M&Ms across surface.
- Allow confection to rest and stabilize for 20 minutes at room temperature. Delicately separate any large connected clusters, creating bite-sized pieces perfect for serving and sharing.
Notes
- Customize chocolate by using dark, milk, or vegan white chocolate for different dietary needs.
- Swap regular M&Ms for allergen-free or vegan chocolate candies to accommodate restrictions.
- Use gluten-free Chex and pretzels to create a celiac-friendly version of the mix.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain crispness and freshness.
