Start by grabbing a box of Corn Chex cereal. This will serve as the base for our snack mix and provide a satisfying crunch.
Next, add in some pretzels for a salty twist. You can use any shape or size of pretzels, depending on your personal preference.
No snack mix is complete without some peanuts. They add a great protein boost and a delicious nutty flavor to the mix.
To bring in some festive colors and sweetness, add in some M&M's. You can choose the classic milk chocolate or mix it up with different holiday flavors.
For the final touch, you'll need some melted butter to bind all the ingredients together and add a buttery flavor to the mix.
In a microwave-safe bowl, mix together the Corn Chex cereal, pretzels, peanuts, and M&M's. In a separate bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Pour the melted butter over the snack mix and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. This will ensure that the mix is evenly cooked and the butter is distributed throughout.
Once the mix is done, spread it out on a baking sheet to cool. You can also add some holiday sprinkles for an extra festive touch. Once cooled, store the snack mix in an airtight container until ready to serve.
Enjoy your microwave Christmas snack mix at your next holiday gathering or package it up as gifts for friends and family. It's a quick, easy, and delicious way to add some holiday cheer to your menu!
If you want to mix things up, you can add in other ingredients such as chocolate chips, holiday-shaped marshmallows, or even some mini candy canes. The possibilities are endless, so feel free to get creative and make this snack mix your own!
