It's no secret around here that I love sending little treats to the girls friends at school. Especially holiday themed! I love this kind of treat and knew I wanted to make an Easter themed one. The girls loved helping and even more, loved eating this!
I actually found the recipe on the chex website, looks like they change the name for each holiday and it works for all-- just switching up the holiday themed candy.
INGREDIENTS
6 cups Rice Chex™ or Corn Chex™ cereal
2 cups miniature marshmallows (from 10.5-oz bag)
1 cup mini pretzel twists (from 16-oz bag)
15 oz vanilla candy coating (almond bark) (about 9 cubes from 20-oz package)
3 tablespoons holiday-colored sprinkles or nonpareils
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup holiday-colored candy-coated chocolate candies
(we also added some Annie's bunnies since it went well!)
PREPARATION
Line large rimmed cookie sheet with waxed paper. In large bowl, mix cereal, marshmallows and pretzels.
In medium microwavable bowl, microwave candy coating uncovered on High 60 to 90 seconds, stirring after 1 minute, until almost melted. Stir until smooth. Pour onto cereal mixture; mix well.
Spread on cookie sheet; sprinkle with holiday sprinkles, and cool completely, about 15 minutes. Break into bite-size pieces.
In 2-quart resealable food-storage plastic bag, add coated cereal pieces and powdered sugar. Seal bag; shake to coat. Remove from bag; discard any remaining powdered sugar.
In large serving bowl, mix coated cereal mixture and chocolate candies.
We bagged the treats in these cute little bags a coworker gave me and called it a day. I love them! XOXO
