Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cereal Rice Chex, Corn Chex, or Honeycomb
  • 1 cup mini pretzel twists
  • 1/2 cup salted nuts cashews, peanuts, or almonds
  • neutral oil spray
  • kosher salt a pinch
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips or vanilla almond bark
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup pastel candy-coated chocolates added after
  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries crushed, optional
  • pastel sprinkles

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Large bowl
  • Parchment

Method
 

  1. Combine the cereal, pretzels, and nuts, spritz with oil, and toss with a pinch of salt. Air fry at 300°F for 6 to 8 minutes, shaking every 2 to 3 minutes, until lightly golden and fragrant.
  2. Melt the white chocolate with the coconut oil in 20-second bursts. Toss the hot mix with the melted chocolate until lightly coated.
  3. Spread on parchment, scatter the candy, freeze-dried berries, and sprinkles, and let it set. Break into clusters.

Notes

Toast at 300°F — cereal scorches at higher heat.
Add the candy after coating so it doesn't melt.
Let the chocolate set fully before breaking it up.
