Christmas is coming!

There are so many things I love about Christmas and one of them is this delightful twist on a classic holiday treat: Christmas Chex Mix.

This snack is not only easy to make but also irresistibly delicious, perfect for those cozy holiday gatherings or a night by the fireplace.

The magic of this recipe lies in its simplicity and the joyous blend of flavors. With just five ingredients - Chex cereal, Cheerios, pretzel sticks, Christmas M&M's, and white chocolate - this Chex Mix brings a merry mix of sweet and salty that everyone will love.

To add my personal touch, I like to sprinkle in a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg, giving it a warm, festive aroma.

The process is as easy as it gets: mix the cereals and pretzels, melt the white chocolate, combine, and let it set. Voila! A snack that looks as cheerful as it tastes.

I encourage you to try this recipe and maybe add your own creative spin. Maybe some crushed peppermint or a drizzle of caramel? The possibilities are endless!

Don't forget to share your version with me in the comments. Happy holiday snacking!

Melt white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Start with microwaving at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir and then melt in 30 second increments (stirring in between). Do not overcook or it will burn.
Pour the melted chocolate over the chex mix and stir until well coated.
Pour the Chex onto a wax or parchment paper. Sprinkle extra m&m's on top for color if desired while the chocolate is still warm.
