A crunchy, sweet-savory blend with pretzels, nuts, and honey, topped with chocolate chips and powdered sugar.
# What You'll Need:
→ Base
01 - 3 cups mini pretzel twists
02 - 2 cups rice cereal squares (such as Chex)
03 - 1 cup roasted almonds
04 - 1 cup honey-roasted peanuts
→ Coating
05 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter
06 - 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
07 - 1/4 cup honey
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
09 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
→ Garnish
10 - 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
11 - 1/4 cup powdered sugar
# How to Make It:
01 - Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, stir together pretzel twists, rice cereal squares, almonds, and honey-roasted peanuts until evenly mixed.
03 - Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Simmer gently, stirring frequently, until sugar dissolves and mixture thickens slightly, approx. 2 minutes.
04 - Pour warm coating evenly over the mixed base ingredients. Toss gently until all pieces are thoroughly coated.
05 - Spread the coated mix in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
06 - Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the slightly cooled mixture so they adhere without melting completely.
07 - Once fully cooled, dust the mix lightly with powdered sugar to create a festive snowy appearance.
08 - Transfer to a large serving bowl or portion into individual cups for convenient serving.
