Ingredients

  • 1 bag (8.75 oz) Chex Mix™ Honey Nut snack mix
  • 1/4 cup dried blueberries
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup roasted sunflower seeds
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup M&M's® chocolate candies red and blue

Steps

  • 1
    In a large bowl, combine the snack mix, blueberries, cranberries, and sunflower seeds.

    Place the white chocolate chips into a medium, microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave on High for 60-90 seconds then stir. Melt for an additional 30-60 seconds, if needed.

    Drizzle the melted chocolate over the snack mix, and stir until well coated. Turn the mix out onto a large piece of wax paper, sprinkle with blue and red candies, then allow the white chocolate to stand at room temperature for about 1 hour to harden.
