The elves’ favorite sweet-and-salty snack • Makes about 10 cups • Ready in 20 minutes, plus cooling

Benny calls this his greatest invention. Tilly says it's the first thing he's made that hasn't exploded! Either way, it's become a favorite in the North Pole Outpost workshop.

Ingredients

• 4 cups Rice Chex cereal

• 2 cups mini pretzels

• 2 cups popped popcorn, plain

• 1 cup red and green candy-coated chocolates

• ½ cup mini marshmallows

• 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers

• ¼ cup holiday sprinkles

Directions

1. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, combine the Chex, pretzels, and popcorn.

3. Melt the white chocolate wafers according to the package directions.

4. Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal mixture and gently stir to coat.

5. Spread onto the baking sheets and immediately add the candy-coated chocolates, marshmallows, and sprinkles.

6. Let cool until the chocolate sets, about 15–20 minutes.

7. Break into pieces and serve in a festive bowl or package in holiday gift bags.

Tilly’s Christmas Tip: Make a double batch. Benny usually eats half before Santa even gets a chance to try it!
