Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, carefully combine 2 cups of gluten-free Chex mix, 2 cups of freshly popped popcorn, 2 cups of gluten-free pretzels, and ½ cup of dry roasted peanuts.
  2. Place 9 oz of dairy-free white chocolate and 1 tablespoon of refined coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the mixture is completely smooth, about 1–2 minutes total.
  3. Once the white chocolate is melted, pour it evenly over the dry mixture in the bowl. Using a spatula, gently fold and stir until all pieces are thoroughly coated.
  4. Fold in your favorite Christmas sprinkles or any other mix-ins like crushed candy canes or mini chocolate chips.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, using the spatula to create an even layer. Place the baking sheet in the fridge and let it chill for at least 30 minutes.
  6. After chilling, remove the baking sheet from the fridge. Break the mixture into bite-sized pieces using your hands or a knife.
