Of course we’re repping the Olympic colors! I found these colorful confetti sprinkles at JOANN, and they’re perfect! But really, any confetti sprinkles in these colors will work great.

How to Make the Olympics Snack Mix

Sweet and salty. Chewy and crunchy. Chocolatey and fruity. It’s all there and  I can’t wait to get started on this super cute, festive Olympics Snack Mix. Let’s go!

To make the Mini Olympic Torches:

Melt enough candy coating according to package directions to have about ⅓ cup of melted candy coating. Dip the large end of a Bugle in melted candy coating then immediately in yellow sugar sprinkles. Barely dip the top of the yellow-coated portion in the melted candy coating and then immediately in red sugar sprinkles. Lay on parchment paper to set completely.

To make the snack mix:

In a large mixing bowl, combine Rice Chex cereal, Cheerios, pretzel sticks and peanuts. Then, in a microwave-safe bowl (or the container the candy coating comes in), melt the candy coating according to package directions. It usually takes about 90 seconds to 2 minutes. Stir every 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Pour the melted candy coating over the ingredients in the bowl and toss to coat, using a large spoon. Coat all the ingredients evenly. Then immediately sprinkle ½ of the confetti sprinkles over the mixture in the bowl. Stir gently to mix them throughout.

Spread the mixture in an even layer on parchment paper. I like to keep mine contained to a baking sheet to catch any strays. Immediately sprinkle with the remaining confetti sprinkles, sprinkle stars, Fruit Loops cereal, and M&Ms candies. Lay the Lifesaver gummies on the mixture. Finally, top with the Mini Olympic Torches.

Allow to cool completely before breaking into pieces. Serve and enjoy! Keep any leftover snack mix in an airtight container or baggie. It should stay fresh for a week or so.

Description

Save those nails and let a handful of this crunchy, chewy, sweet and salty Olympics Snack Mix get you through those tense Olympic moments! It’s a sure winner!


Ingredients

Snack Mix:

  • 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 2 cups Cheerios cereal
  • 1 cups pretzel sticks
  • 1 cup dry roasted peanuts 
  • 1 (16 ounce) package vanilla candy coating, divided 
  • Confetti sprinkles, 1 (1 ounce) package each of blue, black, red, yellow, and green, divided
  •  ¼ cup Wilton Sprinkles, stars 
  • 1 cup Froot Loops cereal
  • 1 cup Milk Chocolate M&Ms (combination of blue, brown, red, yellow and green)

  • ⅓ cup melted vanilla candy coating
  • red sugar sprinkles

Instructions

  1. To make the Mini Olympic Torches: Melt enough candy coating according to package directions to have about ⅓ cup of melted candy coating. Dip the large end of a Bugle in melted candy coating then immediately in yellow sugar sprinkles. Barely dip the top of the yellow-coated portion in the melted candy coating and then immediately in red sugar sprinkles. Lay on parchment paper to set completely. 
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine Rice Chex cereal, Cheerios cereal, pretzel sticks and peanuts.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 ½ of the  confetti sprinkles over the mixture in the bowl. Stir gently to mix them throughout.
