Servings: 14 cups

Ingredients

  • 12 ounce box Rice Chex Cereal
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 12 ounce bag white chocolate chips
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 cup pretzel pieces
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup roasted and salted shelled pistachios

Instructions

  • Place cereal into an extra large mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Pour the powdered sugar into a 2-gallon re-sealable food storage plastic bag and set aside.
  • Place white chocolate chips and heavy cream together in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave on high for 45 seconds; stir. Continue to microwave in 15 second intervals until the chocolate has melted and the mixture can be stirred smooth.
  • Pour half the melted chocolate over the top of the cereal, gently fold with a spatula. Poor the remaining mixture over the top and gently fold to combine (doing this in two steps helps make sure all the cereal is evenly coated.)
  • Transfer the coated cereal to the bag with the powdered sugar; seal bag and gently toss until all the cereal is well-coated.
  • Place cereal back in the large bowl and toss with the pretzels, cranberries, and pistachios.
