Ingredients

Ingredients
1 1/4 cups honey nut toasted oat cereal (like Cheerios)
1 1/4 cups Corn Chex
1/2 cup salted peanuts or 1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup crushed peanut brittle
4 ounces candy-coated m&ms peanut butter flavor extract
5 ounces small pretzels (half of a 10-oz. store-bought package)
6 ounces white chocolate chips (half of a 12-oz. store bought package)
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Preparation

In a large bowl, mix together the cereals, peanuts, almonds, brittle, candy-coated peanut butter pieces, and pretzels. Set aside. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the white chocolate chips and oil for 45 seconds to 1 minute. Stir and place back in the microwave for 5 - 10 seconds. Remove and stir until smooth. Pour into cereal mixture and toss well to combine.
Spread on 2 large wax or parchment paper-covered baking sheets. Allow mix to cool for 1 hour. Break apart and store in an airtight 3-qt. container.
