Ingredients

Scale

Main Mix

  • 8 ounces Mini Pretzels (half of 16-ounce bag)
  • 8 ounces Caramel Corn
  • 8 Oreo Cookies (broken in halves or fourths; alternatively Peppermint Jo Jo’s)
  • 4 ounces Mini Peanut Butter Cups
  • 1 cup Holiday M&M’s

Chocolate Coating

  • 10 to 16 ounces Chocolate or Ghirardelli Melting Wafers (milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate)
  • 4 ounces White Chocolate Melting Wafers

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Place the mini pretzels, caramel corn, and broken Oreo cookies in three separate bowls, ready for coating.
  2. Melt Chocolate: Melt the chocolate wafers until smooth and silky. To enhance shininess if using chips or bars, add 1 teaspoon of oil. Melt in the microwave at 50% power in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly between each increment until fully melted.
  3. Coat Mix: Toss the pretzels, caramel corn, and Oreo pieces with the melted chocolate, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Melt additional chocolate as needed to cover all pieces well. Spread coated pieces on parchment paper to set.
  4. Drizzle White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate wafers in a separate bowl. Using a spoon, lightly drizzle the melted white chocolate over the coated pretzels and caramel corn for contrast and flavor.
  5. Combine and Add Candy: Once the chocolate coating has set, combine all chocolate-coated ingredients in a large mixing bowl, then fold in the mini peanut butter cups and holiday M&M’s.
  6. Store: Transfer the finished snack mix into an airtight container and store at room temperature to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • You can use milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate depending on your flavor preference.
  • Adding a teaspoon of oil to chocolate chips or bars before melting helps achieve a shiny coating.
  • Broken Oreos can be substituted with Peppermint Jo Jo’s for a festive twist.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature to keep snack mix fresh for up to 2 weeks.
  • For best results, ensure chocolate fully sets before mixing all ingredients together.
