White Chocolate Candy Mix and A Check-In

I have been getting lots of emails asking for my White Chocolate Candy Mix. I have finally typed up the recipe. This is seriously so addicting. So be careful. 🙂 I love to make this and give some away. I will wrap it up in nice Christmas baggies and tie it with a ribbon.

White Chocolate Candy Mix

You can play around with the amount of each ingredient depending on what you and your family like. We like less M&M’s with more cereal and pretzels.

Ingredients: (small recipe, perfect for our family)

11 oz White Chocolate (I have used the disks and chips)

2 cups chex cereal or crispix cereal (I have used both)

3 cups pretzels (sticks or waffle – I have used both)

1/2 cup peanut butter M&M’s or Peanuts (I am not a peanut fan so I switched mine)

1/2 cup M&M’s

Ingredients: (large recipe – depending how much I plan to give as gifts)

1 medium box chex or crispix cereal

1 med jar dry roasted peanuts or medium bag peanut butter M&M’s

1 medium bag regular m&m’s

1 lb bag pretzels

2 – 1 lb. bag of white chocolate (I have used the disks and chips)

 

Directions: (these are the same for the two sizes, the larger size will take longer to melt)

1. In a large bowl combine all ingredients except white chocolate and mix.

2. Put white chocolate into microwave safe bowl melt in 1 minute intervals (for small mix), 2 minute intervals (for large mix) at 50% power until melted. Stir in between intervals. Sometimes I go down to 30 seconds depending on how fast the chocolate is melting. You don’t want the chocolate to burn.

3. Pour over mixture immediately.

4. Spread our 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick on wax paper on counter.

5. Let dry at least 30 minutes.

6. Enjoy!

There a quite a few steps but it is so simple to make and once you start you will never want to stop. Don’t say I didn’t warn you! 🙂

 

2012 Closeout Workout Challenge Check-In

Since we are going shopping today I wanted to get my reps in before we left. So, I just did 30 jumping jacks, 20 push-ups, 20 narrow squats, and 20 regular squats. For a 10 day total of 880 reps. We are well on our way to 2012 reps.
