  • 1 cup yogurt-covered pretzels
  • 1/2 cup M&M candies
  • 9 ounces candy cane Hershey's Kisses

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with foil and lightly coat it with nonstick cooking spray. Put the cereal into a large mixing bowl.
  • Place the butter and brown sugar in a medium saucepan and place over medium high heat. Bring to a boil. Once it starts to boil, continue cooking for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Immediately pour the mixture over the cereal and toss to coat. Spread onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, give it a quick stir, and bake for an additional 8 minutes. Set aside and allow it cool.
  • Meanwhile, spread the popcorn evenly out onto a large sheet of parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Place the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small microwaveable safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, then stir well. Continue cooking in 15 second intervals if necessary until the chocolate chips are melted and smooth.
  • Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the popcorn, then immediately sprinkle with the crushed candy canes. Allow the chocolate to harden
  • Add the cereal mixture, popcorn, cashews, pretzels, M&M's and Hershey's Kisses to a very large mixing bowl. Toss lightly to combine. Add holiday sprinkles, if desired. Store in an airtight container.
