You can make this Chex mix in just half an hour tops, and it’s salty and sweet – a wonderful combination of M&Ms, pretzels, white chocolate, and even more. This appetizer was designed with Christmas in mind, since the red and green M&Ms add festive color to the dish.

You can make it for yourself and your family, or give it out to friends as a Christmas gift. It’s also great for game day or movie night.

You can use any kind of pretzels you want here, so just pick your favorite shape. As for the Cheerios, plain or multigrain work, or you could try another kind of cereal. Use mini or regular size M&Ms and any kind of Chex cereal. As for the white chocolate, you can change that up too.

The white color looks Christmassy and festive with the green and red, but you can use milk or dark chocolate if that’s your jam.
