Instructions

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the rice Chex, Cheerios, pretzels, M&Ms, and dried cranberries. Gently stir the ingredients to mix them thoroughly without breaking the pieces.
Melt White Chocolate: Place a heavy saucepan over low heat and add the white chocolate chips. Stir frequently to melt the chocolate evenly and prevent burning. Once fully melted, immediately remove the pan from heat to avoid overheating.
Coat the Mix: Add the melted white chocolate to the snack mix in small dollops. Stir gently between each addition to ensure the white chocolate evenly coats all the pieces without clumping.
Spread the Mixture: On a work surface, lay out 4 to 6 sheets of wax paper. Pour the coated snack mixture onto the wax paper and use a spatula to gently spread it into a thin, even layer, which will help it harden uniformly.
Let Harden: Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes until the white chocolate hardens and the mix solidifies.
Break into Pieces: Once hardened, break the party mix into small chunks suitable for serving.
Serve or Store: Enjoy immediately as a fun snack or store the white chocolate party mix in a tightly sealed container on the counter for up to one week.
