Ingredient notes and substitutions
- Chex: Or a similar cereal like Crispix.
- Cheerios: Feel free to use any flavor of Cheerios that you like instead of using plain Cheerios.
- Pretzels: I like to use pretzel twists, but mini pretzel rods would also work.
- Almond bark: I like to use vanilla almond bark because it melts well. Good-quality white chocolate chips can also be used.
- M&Ms: I like to use plain, not peanut M&Ms. You can use any flavor of M&Ms that you like.

Recipe Tips!
- Work quickly! The vanilla almond bark sets quickly, so you need to sprinkle the M&Ms and sprinkles over the top quickly so that they can set in the almond bark.
- Add-ins: Feel free to add in different types of cereal, Saltine minis, nuts, or dried fruit.
