Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet pastel cereals, crunchy pretzels, and colorful candies.

- Look for an even balance of color and texture as you stir.
Melting Chocolate
- If using, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Stop and stir between intervals to prevent overheating. You want a glossy, pourable consistency.

- Add mini marshmallows and gently mix, folding them in so they stay soft.
- Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool.
- Cool at room temperature until the chocolate firms, about 20 to 30 minutes.
Serving
- Once set, break into pieces and enjoy!
- Store leftovers in a sealed container to keep their texture.
Notes
For best results, use real butter when melting chocolate. Store in an airtight container at room temperature; use a desiccant to keep it crisp. This mix can be made ahead of time and it's perfect for gifting in decorative packages.
