How to Make a Delicious Peppermint Christmas Chex Mix

Step 1- Combine Cereal and Pretzels

In a large bowl combine Chex cereal, Golden Grahams cereal and pretzels.

Step 2- Melt White Baking Chips

Wooden spoon stirring melted white baking chips in a white bowl.

Next you’ll want to melt the white baking chips.

I believe the easiest way to do this is to pour the bag of baking chips in a microwave safe bowl and cook for 30 seconds on high.

Then remove bowl from microwave and stir the baking chips with a wooded spoon.

Repeat this process, cooking for 30 seconds and stir until the baking chips are melted.

If you’d rather melt them on the stove top, fill a pan with a couple of inches of water and bring to a simmer.

Then pour the bag of baking chips in a bowl that will sit over the pan, but not touching the water.

Stir baking chips with a wooden spoon until melted.

Step 3- Add Melted Chips to the Cereal Mixture

Now it’s time to pour the melted baking chips over the cereal mixture.

So, wait to add the M&Ms and peppermint candy.

Step 4- Cool Mixture Add Candy
