Prep Time: 15 minutes.
Bake Time: 5 minutes
Yield: about 15 servings.
Step One: prepare the workspace.
- Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment or wax paper.
- Gather and measure your ingredients.
- Have a large mixing bowl and a microwave-safe bowl ready for use.
Expert Tip👉 Preparing your workspace ahead of time will make the steps in this recipe easier to follow.
Step Two: prepare the ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss together the cereals and the nuts. Then toss in half of the chocolate candies.
- Next, in a microwave safe bowl, melt together the white chocolate with the oil until smooth, stopping to stir every 15 seconds.
