Christmas Chex Mix

Step 1

Cover two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats

Step 2

In a Ziploc bag crush the peppermints using a hammer or meat mallet

Step 3

In a very large bowl combine the two Chex cereals, bugles, and pretzels. Use two large spoons and gently mix so as not to break up the pieces too much.

Step 4

Remove half of the cereal mixture and set aside leaving the remaining half in the very large bowl. You are going to work in two batches.

Step 5

Melt one package of the CandiQuik according to package instructions.

Step 6

Have your M&Ms, crushed peppermints and sprinkles ready.

Step 7

Drizzle about one-fourth of the melted CandiQuick over the cereal. Quickly sprinkle M&Ms, peppermints and candy sprinkles (1 tablespoon at a time) over the cereal. Mix gently using two large spoons.

Step 8

Repeat this step two to three times pouring the melted CandiQuik and then quickly sprinkling M&Ms, peppermints, and sprinkles, then mixing. Do this until you have used all of one package of CandiQuik and half of the M&Ms, peppermints, and sprinkles.

Step 9

Dump this batch onto your prepared baking sheet letting it completely cool.

Step 10

Repeat the above steps for the second batch.
