Ingredients

• 3½ cups Rice Chex cereal
• 3½ cups Honey Nut Cheerios
• 1½ cups pretzel sticks
• ½ cup salted peanuts
• 16 ounces (about 2 cups or 8 squares) vanilla almond bark, chopped
• 10 ounces Easter M&Ms
• ½ cup butterscotch chips

Instructions

1. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Begin by lining a sheet pan with parchment paper. This will make for easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, Honey Nut Cheerios, pretzel sticks, and salted peanuts. Stir them together until they are well mixed.
3. Melt the Almond Bark: Place the chopped vanilla almond bark in a large microwave-safe dish. Melt it in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until it is completely melted and smooth.
4. Combine with Cereal Mix: Pour the melted almond bark over the cereal mixture in the bowl. Toss everything together until the cereal mix is thoroughly coated with the almond bark.
5. Add M&Ms and Butterscotch Chips: Gently fold in the Easter M&Ms and butterscotch chips into the mixture, being careful not to break the M&Ms.
6. Spread on the Sheet Pan: Transfer the mixture to the prepared sheet pan. Spread it out evenly across the pan.
7. Let It Set: Allow the mixture to set at room temperature for about 45 minutes, or until the almond bark has completely hardened.
8. Break into Pieces and Serve: Once set, break the mixture into bite-sized pieces. Transfer them to a serving dish and enjoy!
