Ingredients
Scale
Snack Mix
- 1 cup pretzels
- 2½ cups Honey Nut Cheerios
- 2½ cups Corn Chex
- 1 package (10 ounces) candy corn M&M’s (or regular M&M’s)
- 2 cups candy corn
- 1 cup peanuts (optional)
Chocolate Coating
- 1 package (12 ounces) white chocolate chips
- 1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil
Optional
- Halloween sprinkles
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the pretzels, Honey Nut Cheerios, Corn Chex, candy corn M&M’s, candy corn, and peanuts if using. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Set the bowl aside for later.
- Melt White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 60 seconds, then stir thoroughly. Continue microwaving in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until the white chocolate is completely melted and smooth without any lumps.
- Coat the Snack Mix: Pour the melted white chocolate over the combined snack mix. Stir carefully and thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated with the melted chocolate. If desired, sprinkle Halloween-themed sprinkles on top for a festive touch.
- Set and Serve: Allow the coated mixture to sit undisturbed at room temperature until the white chocolate hardens and sets. Once set, serve immediately or store the Monster Munch in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- You can omit peanuts for a nut-free version.
- To speed up chocolate setting, chill the mixture briefly in the refrigerator, but watch carefully to avoid condensation.
- Store Monster Munch in an airtight container at room temperature to keep it crisp up to 3 days.
- Use candy corn M&M’s for extra Halloween flair or substitute with regular M&M’s.
- Vegetable oil helps the white chocolate melt smoother and improves coating texture.
