Oh, Boy! It’s a Mickey Mouse Snack Mix!
This post is in no way sponsored (just to get that out of the way!). But recently we took Brookie to the “Happiest Place on Earth,” and we’re currently experiencing some pretty intense Mickey Mouse appreciation at our house. What a whirlwind! Our adventure turned out to be exhausting but oh-so magical. And of course I couldn’t let that happy feeling go without commemorating it with a snack mix. My Mickey Mouse Lovers Snack Mix brings the salty, the sweet and the perfectly crunchy into a snack fit for your favorite cartoon mouse.
How to Make Mickey Mouse Lovers Snack Mix
To make the snack mix, first, separate out ⅓ cup each brown, yellow and red Peanut and Mini M&Ms and set aside. Then, in a large mixing bowl, combine Chex cereal, Cheerios and peanuts.
In a microwave safe bowl or the container the candy coating comes in, melt the candy coating according to package directions, usually 90 seconds to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Be sure not to over melt the candy coating as it will burn and become too thick to stir and coat the mix evenly.
Pour the melted candy coating over the ingredients in the large bowl and toss to coat with a large spoon. Ingredients should be evenly coated in the candy coating. Immediately sprinkle half of the confetti sprinkles over the mixture in the bowl. Stir gently to mix them throughout.
Spread the mixture out in an even layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle with the remaining confetti sprinkles and then the brown, yellow and red Peanut and Mini M&Ms. Finally, arrange the Mickey Pretzels over the mixture. Allow the mixture to cool completely. Break apart to serve or store it in an airtight container or baggie for up to a week. Enjoy!
