This snack mix is so addictive, it's known as 'Christmas Crack' among my circle of friends and family! You can choose a holiday mix of M&M's® to make these extra festive!
I've been making this for years to give as gifts. Very fast and inexpensive. I sprinkle a little colored sugar (red and green) on the mixture once it's spread onto the wax paper before it cools completely; gives it a little more festive color.

Made it on christmas eve, and i lured ruldolph to my house, the slay smashed right through! ALL THE WAY. WORKS WAY WAY WAY TOO WELL!!!!!
Very good, easy and makes quite a lot. Some of the amounts listed didn't jive with ingredients i purchased, but didn't seem to be a problem. Makes nice gifts for friends and family.
Very addictive. Quick and easy. Makes a lot -- I had to split it up into two large bowls. I used a little bit more white chocolate than called for ... but too much can be overwhelming.
The second time I made it, I accidentally bought rice Chex instead of corn--just as good! I also added more bark: 36 oz total and a few more m&ms. It stuck together better. I think you could make as many variations as you want! Quick and easy!
My grandpa use to make this every year! Pro tip: throw everything into a washed out trash bag and just shake the bag around. The Kids will love to help too!
We made this with the kids for Christmas Eve. Super easy to make but the kids had a hard time mixing it fast enough before the chocolate started to get hard. I split it into two big bowls and probably could have used a third bowl. I would make it again but maybe only a half batch. It made so much I ran out of containers to put it in.
This is a huge hit with kids big and small. It’s particularly nice because you can tweak ingredients - I added M&Ms this time, I’ve also used coarsely crushed peppermint candy. One caveat - I used the biggest bowl I own and still pushed cereal over the side. Next time I’ll make this in two batches. Less mess and more evenly incorporated white chocolate.
Took this to work and got many compliments from coworkers. I simply followed the recipe and found it quick and festive. If you're looking for simple and addictive, this is your mix!
Was a huge successful at the family Christmas! Everyone wanted to know how to make it.
Yummy! I think I will be putting this in jars as gifts! I used gluten free pretzels and voila! We have a gluten free recipe. I also used rice and corn Chex.
OMG addictive!!!!!
We call this Christmas Crack....once you start eating it, you just can't stop! I make every year since my mother in law passed away. It was her special treat to us and I am keeping it going.
Fun way to interact with the kids and pull them away from themselves for awhile. We found that using powdered sugar helped with final coating.
The kids loved this we made for Christmas goodie bags and today New Year’s Eve...we tweeted it a bit with melted chocolate and peanuts, this is yummy we will be making this in the future...
I made this recipe tonight, it makes a huge amount. Could have used more white chocolate. Next time I will either cut the recipe in half, or use 2 large bowls, as it was very difficult to mix thoroughly before the chocolate hardened. But very tasty
Tom, you're my friend IRL but even then you arn't so wierd? why tom, why you gotta goof off. love the food BTW
I had to use my 2 largest bowls and split it in between. I also ended up doubling the chocolate to coat all of the mix.
Best recipe I have found on here. The right amount of each ingredient. I'm not big on sweets so this was the perfect recipe for holidays.
No one should have this in their home. It call to you in the night, it whispers into your dreams. This stuff is dangerous and the better name really is Christmas Crack. Sweet, salty, crunchy, clusters of addictive goodness. Yes the recipe makes a lot but it’ll go fast! I used less Chex (12oz) and Pretzels (16 oz) and the white chocolate ratio was perfection.
Love this recipe! Sweet & salty and a great snack for the Christmas table or to the classroom (pending allergies of course!) for gifts, or neighbours gifts!
Love this stuff Have to make it every year and no one wants the recipe changed a bit love
Super easy to make and really versatile! I've made it several times using different colored candies for different events. Fruity Pebbles make it really festive an yummy too!
This is my favorite for the christmas season. All the girls at work ask for it. I add cheerios and holiday sprinkles as well. Also add multiple kinds of m&ms
