Ingredients
4 cups Corn Chex cereal
2 cups miniature pretzel twists
1/2 cup Planters® cocktail peanuts (from 16-oz container)
4 tbs butter
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1/4 tsp ground red pepper (cayenne)
3 cups Rice Chex cereal
1 cup mini marshmallows (from 10-oz bag)
1 bag (12 oz) white vanilla baking chips
4 1/2 tsp holiday-colored nonpareils or sprinkles
1/2 cup holiday-colored M&M'S chocolate candies
Directions

1. Line large rimmed pan with paper towels.

 

2. In medium microwavable bowl, mix Corn Chex™ cereal, 1 cup of the pretzels and the peanuts; set aside. In small microwavable bowl, microwave butter uncovered on High 40 to 50 seconds or until melted. Stir in seasoned salt and red pepper. Pour over cereal mixture; stir until evenly coated. Microwave uncovered on High 2 to 4 minutes, stirring after every minute, until cereal is toasted. Spread in pan to cool.

 

3. Line another large rimmed pan with waxed paper. In large bowl, mix Rice Chex™ cereal, marshmallows and remaining 1 cup pretzels.

 

4. In medium microwavable bowl, microwave white vanilla baking chips uncovered on High 45 seconds; stir. If needed, microwave in additional 15-second increments, stirring vigorously after each, until melted and smooth. Pour onto Rice Chex™ cereal mixture; mix well. Spread in pan; immediately sprinkle with holiday nonpareils. Cool about 30 minutes or until set. Break into bite-size pieces.

 

5. In large serving bowl, mix both cereal mixtures and candies.

 

TIP 1: Take care when microwaving white vanilla baking chips so you don’t overheat them. Heat just until chips start to melt, and stir until smooth.

 

TIP 2: By changing the color and type of sprinkles, you easily can serve this mix for different holidays or occasions.
