There’s nothing I love more than a festive snack mix, and this Christmas crack Chex mix is one of my favorites! This white chocolate Christmas Chex mix is sweet, crunchy, merry, and bright with red and green sprinkles and M&M’s. I had to make a second batch ASAP since I couldn’t stop snacking on the first one. It’s so good!
Christmas Crack Chex Mix Recipe
I make some version of Christmas Chex mix every single year, but this one is my new favorite. I combined crunchy cereal with pretzels, peanuts, and melt-in-your-mouth M&Ms and tossed the whole thing in white chocolate to create this delicious dessert. It’s perfectly sweet, savory, and delicious! I can’t think of a more festive treat for the holidays!

Tips for Success

- Once the white chocolate has been mixed in and the Chex mix is layered onto sheet trays, you can keep tossing it to avoid large clumps of the mixture.
- This sweet treat makes a great gift! Package in mason jars or holiday tins with pretty ribbon and a note.
