Ingredients
Scale
6 cups Crispix Cereal (most of a 9.6 ounce box) or Corn Chex
6 cups small pretzels
16-ounces dry roasted salted peanuts
1 1/2 cups plain M&Ms (approximately 1 11-ounce bag), we used red and green holiday colors
4 cups (2 12-ounce bags) Ghirardelli premium white chocolate chips
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup holiday (red & green) sprinkles, optional
Instructions
- Line two sheet trays with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a very large bowl, combine cereal, pretzels, peanuts, and M&Ms. (Note that it’s fine to divide the ingredients into two bowls if you don’t have one bowl that is large enough to mix everything together.)
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and vegetable oil.
- Microwave chocolate until melted, stirring with a spatula after 30-second intervals. Be careful not to overheat the white chocolate – it can seize up and even burn. Stir well after every 30 seconds, allowing the residual heat of the bowl to melt the chocolate.
- Pour melted white chocolate over the cereal mixture. With a large spatula, immediately stir and fold the ingredients so the chocolate coats the dry ingredients evenly.
- Spoon the coated mixture onto the prepared sheet trays and spread into a flat layer. Add sprinkles over the top if desired.
- Chill the sheet pans in the refrigerator until set.
- Break the cooled Reindeer Munch into chunks with your hands, then store in air-tight containers at room temperature.
