2 cups white chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions:
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, mini pretzels, candy corn, and peanuts. Stir gently to combine, ensuring that all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Drizzle the Chocolate: Pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal mixture. Use a spatula or large spoon to gently stir, ensuring that all the dry ingredients are well-coated.
Cool the Mix: Spread the chocolate-coated mix evenly onto a large baking tray lined with parchment paper. Allow it to cool completely at room temperature until the chocolate hardens.
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, break apart the mix into clusters and serve in bowls or festive bags. Enjoy this spooky snack with family and friends!
Serving Tips:
Presentation: Serve the Chex mix in a large, colorful bowl or individual festive treat bags for a fun presentation. You can also use Halloween-themed containers to enhance the spooky vibe.
Pairing: This mix pairs well with other Halloween treats, like caramel apples or spooky cupcakes. Consider creating a snack table with various Halloween-themed goodies for your guests.
Portion Control: For easy serving, use small cups or scoops to portion out the mix. This makes it convenient for guests to grab a snack without needing to dig into the bowl.
Festive Garnish: Add a sprinkle of Halloween-themed sprinkles or edible glitter on top just before serving for an extra festive touch.
Storage Tips:
Airtight Container: Store the Chex mix in an airtight container to keep it fresh. Glass jars or resealable plastic bags work well for this purpose.
Cool Completely: Ensure the mix is completely cooled and the white chocolate has hardened before transferring it to a storage container. This helps prevent it from becoming soggy.
Room Temperature: Keep the stored Chex mix at room temperature. It should stay fresh for about one week. Avoid storing it in the refrigerator, as moisture can affect the texture.
Longer Storage: If you want to keep it for longer, consider freezing the mix in an airtight container. It can last for up to three months. Just make sure to let it thaw at room temperature before serving.
