Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Snack Mix
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the popcorn, pretzels, and Chex cereal.
- Gently toss to mix everything evenly.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using).
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and melted. Be careful not to overheat!
Step 3: Coat the Mix
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the popcorn mixture.
- Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Step 4: Add the Festive Touches
- Sprinkle the M&M’s, crushed candy canes, and holiday sprinkles over the mix while the chocolate is still warm.
- Let the mix sit at room temperature for about 20–30 minutes, or place it in the fridge for quicker setting.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
Once the chocolate has hardened, break the mix into clusters and serve. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
