Ingredients
  

Dry Mix
  • 8 cups popped popcorn lightly salted, unpopped kernels removed
  • 3 cups square lattice cereal e.g., Rice Chex
Coating & Mix-ins
  • 16 oz white chocolate chips or candy melts
  • 1 cup mini pastel marshmallows
  • 1 cup pastel candy-coated chocolates e.g., Spring M&Ms
  • 0.25 cup rainbow sprinkles nonpareils
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil optional, to thin chocolate

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Rubber spatula
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper.
  2. In a very large bowl, gently toss together the popped popcorn and the square cereal.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips (and coconut oil, if using) in 30-second increments at 50% power, stirring well after each increment until completely smooth.
  4. Pour the melted white chocolate over the popcorn and cereal mixture. Gently fold with a spatula until evenly coated.
  5. While still sticky, gently fold in the pastel marshmallows and candy-coated chocolates.
  6. Spread the mixture in a single, even layer onto the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Immediately sprinkle the rainbow sprinkles evenly over the top of the wet mixture.
  8. Let the mix sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes (or 15 mins in the fridge) until the chocolate hardens. Break into pieces and serve.

Notes

Ensure all popcorn kernels are removed before adding chocolate. Water makes white chocolate seize, so be sure your bowls and spatulas are completely dry!
