Frequently Asked Questions about making this White Chocolate Christmas Chex Mix Recipe
Can I use white almond bark instead of white chocolate chips?
Yes. You will need 12 ounces of White Almond Bark, and you won’t need to add the tsp of canola oil during the melting process.
Can I double this recipe?
Yes. In fact, if you are planning to package it up for friends and neighbors or if you are serving it at a big party, I absolutely recommend doubling it!
Is it better to use pretzel sticks or regular pretzels in this recipe?
You can use either. I like to use pretzel sticks, but either type will work great.
Can I use any kind of M&M or are regualr best?
I have used regular, peanut, and peanut butter. I also had a few sugar cookie ones left in a bag this year that I threw in the batch that is pictured. The mix has always tasted great regardless of what type of M&Ms I use.
The recipe calls for salted peanuts. will it be a problem if I us unsalted peanuts?
If you only have unsalted peanuts, I suggest adding some salt when you mix everything up. You will need to add about 1/4 tsp. Just carefully shake it on. The salt is an important part of what makes this treat so yummy! Only add extra if you aren’t adding salted peanuts.
What is the best way to store White Chocolate Christmas Chex Mix?
Once the mix has completely cooled you can store it in any airtight container, or if you are giving it as a gift,put it in a giftbag that can be tied tightly shut. It will stay fresh for 5-7 days as long as it is an airtight container.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, pretzels, salted peanuts, and M&Ms. Mix to combine.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with the teaspoon of canola oil until melted and smooth. Do this in slow increments starting with 30-40 seconds and stirring, being careful not to overheat or the chocolate will seize.
Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, pour it over the cereal/candy mixture and mix well until everything is covered with a thin layer of white chocolate.
Pour the coated mixture out onto the lined cookie sheet. Spread and allow to cool completely.
Once cooled store in an airtight container or bag.
Enjoy!

With a total fat amount of just 15% of the daily limit and only 2.8 grams of sugar, Chex Mix is perhaps one of the healthiest snacks (other than fruits and veggies) that you can have. We recommend simply limiting your amount to one or two ounces because of the fairly high sodium content.
Chex mix is a better option to consume than regular potato chips and is high in calories. Manufacturers add niacin and thiamine mononitrate into the chips to increase nutrients.
Chex has really not caught on as a brand in Canada. Although many other products of General Mills, like Cheerios, are very popular, Chex is seen as a “niche” product. General Mills has five factories in Canada, and that means that they really can't afford to produce their entire product line up here.
The best tip for avoiding the sogginess is the make sure to stir up the mixture well each 15 minutes as it bakes. This will allow the chex mix to cook evenly and allow all pieces to get baked and crispy. After baking, make sure to store in a airtight container or Ziploc.
The date on the package is the best eaten by this date. Once you pass the date, you have gone past the maximum freshness date, so it may start to lose its flavor or freshness. I hope that this answers your question.
You can bring them back to an edible state by heating them in the oven. This works wonderfully for snacks like crackers, Chex mix, tortilla chips, pretzels and even whole loaves of bread.
Seasoned salt: This old-school seasoning has a blend of onion, garlic, spices, and salt. We like Lawry's for Chex mix. Onion and garlic powders: These give the Chex mix a deeper, more savory taste. Worcestershire sauce: A generous amount of lends a subtle savoriness that rounds all the flavors out.
One standard-size (12-ounce) box of Rice Chex cereal contains about 11 cups of cereal. Save yourself the hassle of measuring out 9 cups and dump the entire box into your largest bowl. It's easier, it feeds more people, and you don't have an awkward amount of cereal left over.
What makes the Bold flavor so special? Think of it as Traditional Chex Mix on steroids. The savoriness is so epic that it's beyond your wildest dreams. It's like Chex Mix took the Traditional flavor and added even more butter, more garlic powder, more onion powder, and, most noticeably, more Worcestershire sauce.
