Description

This sweet treat is easy to make. I begin my Christmas baking by making this so that my family stays out of the rest of the treats! It makes a big batch, but that is a good thing, because it disappears quickly!

Ingredients

  • 1 package (about 20 Oz. Package) Vanilla Almond Bark
  • 15 ounces, weight Pretzles (the Knotted Shape Works Best Here)
  • 16 ounces, weight Chocolate M&Ms
  • 16 ounces, weight Dry Roasted Peanuts
  • 15 ounces, weight Rice Chex Cereal

Preparation

Melt the almond bark according to package directions.

Using a VERY large bowl (the bigger the bowl, the easier the mixing will be), combine all of the dry ingredients. Try not to sample too much or there will be no party mix left.

Pour the melted almond bark over the mix and begin to slowly fold the mix over and over until all of the pieces are completely covered. Again, the bigger the bowl the better, because you can go slow and gentle and won’t end up with a ball of crushed cereal .

When all of the pieces are covered, spread out the party mix on waxed paper or parchment paper to dry. The more you can spread it out, the easier it will be to package it up later. When it is dry, store in a large, airtight container or divide it up into treat bags to give to your friends and family.

This can be changed up in many ways. My family likes it when I substitute half of the rice Chex for an equal amount of the chocolate Chex. I have also tried this with butterscotch almond bark. SO MANY POSSIBILITIES! Have fun!

I made this over the Holidays and gave them in little bags as gifts to some coworkers, and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved it and my family did also… I will definitely be making this again!
