Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 bag (12 ounces / 340 grams) white chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups Cheerios cereal
- 1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 cups pretzel sticks, broken into small pieces
Candy and Sweet Add-ins:
- 1 cup M&Ms (Easter colors preferred)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Decorative Toppings:
- 1/2 cup sprinkles (spring or Easter-themed)
- Additional sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Prepare a spacious baking tray by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage for easy chocolate setting.
- Create a smooth melting zone for white chocolate chips using microwave, stirring carefully between 30-second intervals to prevent scorching.
- Gather all dry ingredients – pretzel sticks, Cheerios, Rice Krispies, mini marshmallows, and M&M’s – into a generously sized mixing vessel.
- Drizzle melted white chocolate over the collected ingredients, using gentle folding motions to ensure uniform coating without crushing delicate components.
- Transfer the chocolate-enrobed mixture onto the prepared baking tray, spreading evenly to create a uniform layer.
- While the white chocolate remains glossy and liquid, immediately scatter Easter-themed sprinkles across the surface for festive decoration.
- Allow the confection to rest at ambient temperature, permitting the white chocolate to solidify completely, which typically requires 30-45 minutes.
- Once fully set, fracture the mixture into irregular, bite-sized clusters using clean hands or a utensil.
- Preserve the crunchy treat in a sealed container to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption.
Notes
- Customize the mix by swapping cereals or adding nuts for extra crunch and protein.
- Experiment with different chocolate types like milk or dark chocolate for unique flavor variations.
- Use gluten-free pretzels and cereals to make this recipe suitable for gluten-sensitive individuals.
- Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the crisp texture and prevent ingredients from becoming soggy.
