Ingredients
2 cups mini pretzels
2 cups cornflakes or Rice Krispies
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup white chocolate chips
4 tablespoons peanut butter
0.5 cup colorful candies like M&Ms
0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
2 tablespoons sprinkles
Instructions
1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a big bowl, mix pretzels, cereal, marshmallows, candies, and nuts if using.
2. In a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and peanut butter together until smooth. Stir constantly to avoid burning.
3. Pour the warm melted mixture over the dry ingredients and gently fold everything together until well combined.
4. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with toppings while still warm.
5. Let the candies cool and harden at room temperature, or refrigerate for 20 minutes to speed things up.
Notes
Store candies in an airtight container for up to one week.
Use almond bark or candy melts if white chocolate chips aren’t available.
