Preparation Steps
- Prepare two large baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or silicone mats. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn cereal, rice cereal, oat cereal, pretzels, and peanuts, mixing well to distribute evenly.
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating it in 30-second intervals at medium power, stirring frequently until smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cereal mixture, then gently fold everything together until all ingredients are well coated.
- Quickly stir in the holiday chocolate candies, then spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets in an even layer. Sprinkle the top with festive sprinkles if desired.
- Allow the mix to set at room temperature for about 20 minutes, or place it in the refrigerator for a quicker setting time. Once firm, break into clusters and serve.
