Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup pretzel sticks
  • 1/2 cup nuts (optional, such as peanuts or walnuts) Can be omitted for a nut-free version
  • 2 cups cereal (e.g., Rice Krispies or Chex) Use gluten-free cereal for a gluten-free version
  • Sprinkles (for decoration) Choose colorful sprinkles for a festive touch

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Begin by gathering all your ingredients, measuring them out to make the process smoother.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, add your chocolate chips. Heat them in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss together your cereal, pretzels, and optional nuts.

Assembly

  • Once the chocolate is melted, pour it over the dry mixture and stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
  • Gently fold in the mini marshmallows.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the mixture onto the sheet and use a spatula to flatten it out evenly.
  • Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle your choice of colorful sprinkles on top.
  • Allow the mixture to cool in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Once set, use a sharp knife to cut it into squares or break it into pieces.
  • These Easy Christmas Treats are now ready to be served!

Notes

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks. For freezing, layer them with parchment paper in an airtight container and freeze for up to three months.
