Ingredients List

• 4 cups popped popcorn (lightly salted for balance)
• 2 cups mini pretzels (adds a salty crunch)
• 2 cups Chex cereal (rice or corn for extra crispiness)
• 1½ cups white chocolate chips (high-quality for smooth melting)
• ½ cup pastel sprinkles (Easter-themed for festive flair)
• 1 tsp coconut oil (helps thin the chocolate for easy coating)
• 1 cup mini marshmallows (optional, for extra sweetness)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Mix: In a large bowl, combine popcorn, pretzels, Chex cereal, and marshmallows (if using).
2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
3. Coat the Mix: Pour melted chocolate over the dry ingredients and gently fold until everything is evenly coated.
4. Add Sprinkles: Quickly toss in sprinkles before the chocolate sets for maximum color.
5. Let It Set: Spread the mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it cool completely.
6. Break & Serve: Once hardened, break into clusters and enjoy!
