Main Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Chex cereal

- 1 cup mini peanut butter cups, halved
- 1 cup Reese’s Pieces or M&M’s
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted
- Halloween-themed sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the Rice Chex cereal, mini pretzels, candy corn, halved mini peanut butter cups, Reese’s Pieces or M&M’s, and mini marshmallows together gently to ensure an even distribution of all components.
- Add White Chocolate: Drizzle the melted white chocolate chips over the mixture while gently tossing to coat the ingredients evenly without breaking them.
- Add Sprinkles: If desired, sprinkle Halloween-themed sprinkles on top to give the mix a festive, colorful appearance.
- Set and Serve: Spread the mixture evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow it to set at room temperature for about 10 minutes until the white chocolate hardens. Once set, break the mix into pieces and either serve immediately or package into treat bags for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Use white chocolate chips carefully melted to avoid overheating and clumping.
- For a nut-free version, substitute mini peanut butter cups with additional candy or pretzels.
- The mix can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week.
- Feel free to customize the candy mix according to preferences and dietary restrictions.
- Adding the sprinkles is optional but adds a fun visual element for Halloween parties.
