You won’t be able to stop eating this Christmas Chex Mix Recipe
White Christmas Mix is a holiday treat that we come back to year after year.
It’s so easy to make and the entire family loves it (maybe a little too much). And I love that it is adapted from my elementary school cookbook.
It pairs everyday cereals and snacks with melted white chocolate — and you can make it even more festive by using Christmas M&Ms!

- 3 c Corn Chex
- 3 c Rice Chex
- 3 c Cheerios

- 16 oz M&Ms
- 20 ounces almond bark
How to make this Chex Mix Christmas Recipe
1. In a very large mixing bowl, combine Chex, Cheerios, pretzels, peanuts, and M&Ms.
2. In a smaller, microwave-safe bowl, melt 20 ounces of almond bark according to the package instructions.
3. Pour melted almond bark over the dry ingredients.
4. Mix together until well-coated.
5. Spread the chocolate mixture onto parchment paper to cool and harden.
6. Once the chocolate is hard, break the mixture apart and serve (or store it in an airtight container for later).
How to store Christmas Trail Mix
Once the mixture is completely cooled, you can store it in an air-tight food storage container, zip top bag, or glass jars at room temperature for up to 6 weeks.
You can also freeze it for much longer (even up to 6 months).
Trail Mix Recipe Christmas FAQs
Chex mix needs enough room to spread out in order to harden and “dry out” properly. Don’t try to squeeze it all on a small baking sheet — use multiple baking sheets if necessary, so the chocolate can cool and harden quickly.
For traditional Chex Mix (not coated in chocolate) you can freshen it up by baking it in the oven at 200º for 30-40 minutes (watching it to make sure it doesn’t burn). However, this would not work for chocolate coated Chex Mix.
