Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups gluten-free puffcorn (Old Dutch recommended)
  • 2 cups gluten-free pretzels (mini twists or sticks)
  • 1 1/2 cups dry-roasted peanuts
  • 12 oz gluten-free white chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 11 oz Holiday M&Ms;
  • gluten-free holiday sprinkles (to decorate)

Equipment

  • Very large mixing bowl
  • Medium microwave-safe bowl
  • Rubber spatula
  • Parchment paper or silpats
  • Baking sheet or counter space

Method
 

  1. Line countertop or baking sheets with parchment paper or silpats to prepare your workspace.
  2. In a very large bowl, combine puffcorn, pretzels, and peanuts. Toss gently to mix evenly.
  3. Melt white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl: heat 40 seconds, stir, then 30 seconds more. Stir until smooth, heating in 10-second increments if needed.
  4. Drizzle melted white chocolate over puffcorn mixture. Gently fold to coat everything evenly.
  5. Spread mixture onto parchment in a thin, even layer. Immediately sprinkle with Holiday M&Ms and festive sprinkles. Gently press toppings into chocolate.
  6. Let cool at room temperature for 30–60 minutes, or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until fully set.
  7. Break into bite-sized pieces and serve or store in an airtight container.

Notes

For best results, use certified gluten-free ingredients. Let the chocolate fully set before breaking into pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temp to preserve the crunch. Try it with different chocolates or add dried cranberries for extra holiday flair.
