Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups corn chips or tortilla chips
  • 2 cups Chex cereal or similar shredded wheat cereal

Nuts and Dried Fruit

  • 2 cups peanuts or mixed nuts
  • 1 cup raisins or dried cranberries

Sweet and Creamy Element

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Gather and measure ingredients: Start by assembling all your ingredients to keep the process smooth. Measure about equal parts corn chips, Chex cereal, peanuts, raisins, and white chocolate chips for a balanced mix.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, gently toss the corn chips, Chex cereal, peanuts, and raisins together, ensuring even distribution without breaking the chips.
  3. Add white chocolate chips: Sprinkle the white chocolate chips on top and lightly fold them into the mix, letting them remain mostly intact for texture contrast.
  4. Serve or store: Serve immediately for the best crunch and freshness, or transfer to an airtight container if preparing ahead.

Notes

  • Use fresh snacks: Crunchy ingredients make all the difference, so avoid stale chips or nuts.
  • Handle gently: Mix ingredients carefully to keep chips from crumbling.
  • Customize white chocolate: Slightly melt white chocolate to lightly coat the mix or keep chips solid for texture contrast.
  • Balance flavors: Adjust the amount of raisins or nuts to suit your sweetness or saltiness preference.
  • Storage tip: Store in a cool, dry place to keep white chocolate chips from melting or sticking.
