A quick and easy fall snack featuring crunchy Chex cereal, sweet candy corn, and a creamy white chocolate drizzle. Perfect for Halloween parties or cozy autumn gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 1 ½ cups candy corn
  • 1 cup salted peanuts (optional)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal and peanuts (if using). Stir gently.
  3. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until fully melted. Pour over the cereal mixture and toss gently until evenly coated.
  4. Gently fold in the candy corn. Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
  5. In a clean microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until smooth and fully melted (about 90 seconds total).
  6. Using a fork or small whisk, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cereal mixture in a back-and-forth motion.
  7. Let the white chocolate harden completely at room temperature (30-45 minutes) or refrigerate for 15 minutes to speed up.
  8. Once set, gently break the mix into clusters. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

For best results, let white chocolate cool for 2-3 minutes before drizzling to avoid soggy cereal. If white chocolate seizes, add another teaspoon of coconut oil and stir vigorously. Store at room temperature; do not refrigerate. Flavors improve after a day.
