Festive Holiday Chow Crunch!
A quick and easy, gluten-free and dairy-free holiday snack, perfect for adding a festive crunch to your celebrations!
Equipment
- Large Bowl
- Microwave-safe Bowl or Double Boiler
- Rubber Spatula or Wooden Spoon
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 2 cups certified gluten-free Chex mix
- 2 cups freshly popped popcorn
- 2 cups gluten-free pretzels (twists or sticks)
- 1/2 cup unsalted dry roasted peanuts (omit for peanut allergy)
- 9 ounces dairy-free white chocolate chips
- 1 Tablespoon naturally refined coconut oil
- Christmas sprinkles for a festive touch
Instructions
- In a large bowl, gently mix together the Chex mix, popcorn, pretzels, and peanuts.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the white chocolate chips with the coconut oil until smooth and creamy. Heat slowly, stirring often, to prevent scorching.
- Pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to stir everything gently until all pieces are beautifully coated.
- Fold in your favorite Christmas sprinkles. For best results, add delicate candy mix-ins after the chocolate has slightly cooled to prevent melting.
- Spread the coated mixture evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
- Once firm, break the festive chow into delicious, snackable pieces. Store in an airtight container and enjoy!
