Kraftmas 2015: Christmas Crunch

Every Christmas my mom makes this very simple but delicious snack mix, which we call Christmas Crunch. I have made it a couple of times with her over the years, but this year I made a batch of my own to share.

What you need:

5 cups Cheerios
5 cups wheat Chex
2 cups pretzels
2 cups dry roasted peanuts
2 bags of white candy melts
2 bags of red and green M&Ms

This is so simple to make! In a roasting pan, mix the Chex...

Cheerios...

peanuts...

and pretzels.


Ta-da!

To melt the candy, place the melts in a glass bowl.

Microwave for one minute and stir. Then microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each until all of the chips are melted.

Pour over the cereal/pretzel/nut mix and stir. I used a large spoon, but you can use your hands as well to make sure that all of the pieces are covered.

Allow the mix to cool and the chocolate to set, then break apart into small pieces.

Finally, add the M&Ms and your Christmas Crunch is ready to eat!
