3 cups Wheat Chex cereal
3 cups Rice Chex cereal
2 1/2 cups original Cheerios cereal
3 cups broken mini pretzel twists
2 cups unsalted dry roasted peanuts
2 cups Bugles snack chips
8 - 10 miniature Reese's peanut butter cups
3/4 cup red and green M&M's candy
1 (24 oz) block of white almond bark, divided
Extra red and green M&M's for garnish, optional

Steps:

Tear two large pieces of parchment paper and place on counter. Combine first 8 ingredients; then divide the mixture and spread out on two large jellyroll pans. Melt half the block of almond bark as directed on package. (I heated it in a small non-stick saucepan.) Drizzle the melted candy over one pan of the mixture then use a egg turner to flip it over and over until the mixture is coated well. Spread mixture out on one sheet of the parchment. Melt other half of almond bark and repeat the previous step for the other pan of mixture. Allow about 2 hours for the candy to harden before breaking into pieces. Transfer mixture to a serving dish then garnish with extra M&M's and Santa Hats, if desired. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Santa Hats Bugles snack chips Red candy melts Tiny white nonpareils Mini marshmallows Directions Melt candy melts as directed on package. Dip a Bugle in melted candy. Dip brim of hat in the nonpareils. Set aside to dry on a waxed-paper lined baking sheet. (If they won't stand, just lay them down.) Continue dipping until desired number of hats are made. Stick a mini marshmallow on the tip of each hat.
