Candy Cane Lane Trail Mix

Ingredients

  • 5 cups rice cereal
  • 1 cup mini pretzels
  • 2 1/2 cups white chocolate chip morsels
  • 1 cup crushed candy canes (I like the ball mints)
  • 1 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 2 cups popcorn (I leave this out)
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (kids prefer milk chocolate)
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/3 cup shelled pistachios

Preparation

Step 1

Pour the cereal and mini pretzels into a large bowl. Melt chocolate morsels in microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring occasionally, until all morsels are melted. Pour melted chocolate over cereal, stirring and folding until lightly coated. Fold in the crushed candy canes.

Pour the confectioners' sugar into a large zip-loc bag. Place cereal and pretzel mixture inside bag, seal and shake until the mixture is covered with sugar. Refrigerate, allowing chocolate to harden. Then place mixture in a large serving bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
