Instructions
1. Prepare the Mix:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, pretzels, peanuts, M&Ms, mini marshmallows, and dried cranberries if using.

- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
3. Combine and Coat:
- Pour the melted white chocolate over the snack mix and gently toss to coat everything evenly.

Notes
- Customize with add-ins like candy canes, popcorn, or chocolate-covered pretzels.
- For a different flavor, use milk or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate.
- Store the mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
