How to Make Chocolate Party Snack Mix

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups of your favorite cereal, 2 cups of mini pretzels, and 1 cup of roasted, salted cashews. Gently toss to combine.
  3. In a medium, heat-safe bowl, combine 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler on low heat, stirring frequently.
  4. Once the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, remove from heat.
  5. Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal mixture and stir gently but thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
  6. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake at 250°F (120°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the chocolate is set. Alternatively, you can chill the snack mix in the refrigerator or freezer until the chocolate has hardened.
  8. Once cooled, break the snack mix into smaller chunks.
  9. Serve and enjoy your delicious Chocolate Party Snack Mix!
