Christmas Chex Mix Ingredients

• Rice Chex Cereal (or Corn Chex Cereal)
• Holiday-Shaped Pretzels
• White Chocolate Melting Wafers
• Heath Toffee Bits
• Holiday M&Ms
• Mini Dehydrated Marshmallows
• Holiday Sprinkles

Fun & Tasty Variations To Try!

• Use Your Favorite M&Ms – I chose to use milk chocolate M&Ms but feel free to choose your favorite! Peanuts, white chocolate pretzels, or peanut butter M&Ms would all be tasty additions!
• Pretzel Choice – If you can’t find the Utz holiday pretzels (affiliate link) you can use mini pretzels. Pretzel sticks also work but you may want to break them in half!
• Add Some Salty Flavor – For a saltier flavor, you can add in peanuts or sprinkle the mix with sea salt as it sets up!
• More Mix-Ins – You could also add in some mix-ins once the snack mix has set! Things like mini peanut butter cups, snow caps, mini marshmallows, and chocolate-covered raisins, would all add delicious contrasting flavor!
• Make It For Any Holiday – Though this recipe is geared toward Christmas you can totally make it for any holiday! Just simply grab sprinkles and colored M&Ms with the matching color theme to the holiday. For example, red and pink M&Ms and sprinkles for Valentine’s Day!

How To Make Christmas Chex Mix

1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and then set it aside.
2. Combine the cereal and pretzels in a large bowl.
3. Melt the melting wafers until smooth. Then pour the melted chocolate over the cereal and stir gently to coat.
4. Add the toffee bits, M&Ms, and mini dehydrated to the chocolate-coated cereal and pretzels. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
5. Spread the mixture out onto the prepared baking sheet and top with the remaining marshmallows, mini dehydrated marshmallows, and sprinkles. Allow the Chex mix to set up before enjoying!

How To Store Easy Christmas Chex Mix

Once the snack mix has cooled transfer it to an airtight container or a Ziploc bag with the excess air squeezed out of it.

It can then be stored at room temperature for a week or two weeks in the refrigerator.

Gluten-Free Christmas Chex Mix

The cereal, M&Ms, heath toffee bits, and mini dehydrated marshmallows are all gluten-free. You will need to grab a bag of gluten-free pretzels and be sure to use gluten-free white chocolate melting wafers.

Snyder’s brand carries gluten-free pretzels and Ghirardelli’s white chocolate melting wafers are also gluten-free!
