A festive, no-bake sweet-and-salty snack mix featuring red, white, and blue colors—perfect for Independence Day or any celebratory gathering.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Chex cereal
  • 3 cups Cheerios
  • 2 cups pretzel snaps (or sticks broken in half)
  • 1½ cups dry roasted peanuts
  • ½ cup roasted almonds
  • 1 cup red M&M’s
  • 1 cup blue M&M’s
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips or Candiquik
  • 2 tablespoons festive red, white, and blue sprinkles

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the Chex cereal, Cheerios, pretzels, peanuts, and almonds.
  2. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the snack mixture, gently stirring to coat evenly.
  4. While the chocolate is still wet, fold in the red and blue M&M’s and sprinkles.
  5. Spread the mix in an even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Let it sit at room temperature until the chocolate sets, about 15–20 minutes.
  7. Break into clusters and serve immediately, or store once completely cooled.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free cereal and pretzels for a gluten-free version.
  • Substitute nuts with seeds or extra cereal for a nut-free mix.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Warm in a 200°F oven for 5 minutes to refresh crunch.
