Name: Sweet and Salty Easter Snack Mix
Prep time: 30 min
Total time: 1 h 30 min
Yield: 8 - 10 serving(s)
Ingredients: 4 c. corn, wheat, and/or rice cereal squares (such as Chex); 2 c. mini pretzels; 1 c. salted almonds; 4 tbsp. salted butter; 1/4 c. honey; 1/4 c. sugar; 1 tsp. ground cinnamon; 1 tsp. vanilla extract; 1/2 c. white chocolate chips; 2 tsp. coconut oil; 1 c. pastel candy-coated chocolates (such as M&M's)

Step 1Preheat the oven to 250°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the cereal, pretzels, and nuts.

Step 2In a small saucepan, cook the butter, honey, and sugar over low heat until bubbling and combined, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cinnamon and vanilla until incorporated. Pour half of the butter mixture over the cereal mixture and toss until coated. Add the remaining butter mixture and toss again until well coated.

Step 3Spread the snack mix on the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Bake, stirring every 15 minutes, until toasted and just beginning to dry out, about 1 hour.

Step 4In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave on low power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and melted.

Step 5

Drizzle the chocolate mixture over the snack mix on the baking sheet, then immediately sprinkle with the candy-coated chocolates. Let cool completely at room temperature to allow the chocolate to set, about 30 minutes. Break apart into small clusters.
