Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 7 cups rice Chex cereal Use regular or gluten-free Rice Chex.
  • 1.75 cups chopped candy canes For festive flair, use colorful candy canes.
  • 2 cups melted white chocolate or almond bark Either option works well for a sweet coating.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, gently introduce 7 cups of rice Chex cereal and set aside.
  2. Place the candy canes in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Set aside.
  3. Melt the white chocolate or almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth.
Combining
  1. Pour the melted chocolate over the rice Chex, tossing to coat each piece evenly.
  2. Sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the chocolate-coated cereal and stir until well mixed.
Setting
  1. Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet and let it set completely.
  2. Once set, break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

Notes

For extra crunch, toast the Rice Chex before adding chocolate. Substitute half the white chocolate with milk or dark chocolate for added depth. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
