Notes

Expert Tips For a Wonderful Treat !!

  1. Try to use more red and green M&Ms to make it more crunchy and sweet.
  2. Other types of cereal such as Golden Grahams or Cinnamon Toast Crunch can also be used which will add more taste and a smooth texture.
  3. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl with another 30-second increments, stirring after each increment for a perfect texture.
  4. I usually like to gift wrap the Christmas crack Chex mix along with a ribbon which makes it a perfect Christmas treat present for giving to family and friends.
  5. For a better taste, you can melt 16 ounces of semisweet chocolate and 8 ounces of white chocolate chips together instead of taking only white chocolate chips.
  6. Replace the peanuts with 3 cups of chopped almonds or pecans for a smooth texture of crunch.
  7. You can also add nuts and sprinkles to give it a festive look.
