Patriotic Party Mix

Jump to Recipe

The best sweet and salty snack mix ever gets a patriotic pop with red, white and blue M&M’s and sprinkles in this Patriotic Party Snack Mix. Always a huge hit!

Happy Memorial Day weekend!

We’re looking forward to a relaxing weekend with absolutely no plans. No ball games, no birthday parties, no dinner parties, no date nights out, no nothing…just us waking up each morning and saying, “Hey, what do we want to do today?!” Love it and so looking forward to it!

We may not have grand activities planned, but I guarantee we’ll have great food. We’ll probably grill out every day, eat a few watermelons poolside and snack our way through a big batch of this patriotic snack mix. For the most deliciously addicting sweet and salty snack mix your hands will ever reach into. The kids just love it!

Made with Chex cereal, Cheerios, pretzels and dry roasted peanuts all covered in a white chocolate candy coating…

Then made festive with red, white and blue sprinkles and M&M’s…

Shop The Mix:

Here’s what you need to make this mix!

  • Chex Rice Cereal
  • Cheerios
  • pretzels snaps
  • dry roasted peanuts
  • vanilla candy coating
  • red, white and blue sprinkles
  • red, white and blue M&M’s
  • red, white and blue Peanut M&M’s

How to Make this Patriotic Party Mix

In a large bowl, combine the Chex cereal, Cheerios, pretzels and peanuts.

In a microwave safe bowl, melt the almond bark or candy coating according to package directions, usually 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Be sure not to over melt the almond bark as it will burn and become too thick to stir and coat the mix evenly.

Pour the melted almond bark over the ingredients in the large bowl and toss to coat with a large spoon. Ingredients should be evenly coated in the almond bark.

Spread the mixture out in an even layer on parchment paper or wax paper.  Immediately sprinkle with the sprinkles and then the M&M’s. Allow mixture to cool completely. Break apart to serve. Store in an airtight container or baggie. For extra patriotic flair, serve in a star-shaped serving bowl.

No Memorial Day, 4th of July or Labor Day celebration would be complete without a big bowl of this patriotic party mix for everyone to enjoy! If you make this Patriotic Party Mix, be sure to snap a picture and share it with me or tag me on Instagram @thebakermama so I can see. ???? I love seeing how inspired and creative y’all get with the recipes I share. Enjoy!

xoxo,

    Hi! Can this all be done in a crock pot?

      Hi Nina! I don’t think it would be necessary to make this in a crockpot because you don’t want the other ingredients to cook. You really just need to melt the white chocolate coating. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

    Love this recipe- make it every 4th! I’ve always made it the day of and of course it’s gone by evening so am wondering- how long would it keep? I need to make it ahead of time this year!

      Hi Heather! It keeps great for at least a week, if not longer! Ours has kept for up to 2 weeks if stored in a sealed container, but it doesn’t usually last that long because we devour it within days. Haha! Have a great 4th of July! Enjoy!

Now here's a pie for the 4th of July! 🇺🇸😍 Now here's a pie for the 4th of July! 🇺🇸😍 This American Flag inspired pie is as delicious as it is easy to create! All the details are listed below. ENJOY! 😋🇺🇸🥧🎉 #TheBakerMama

Ingredients:

4 ready-to-bake pie crusts
3 (20 oz) cans cherry pie filling
1 (20 oz) can blueberry pie filling
1 egg
1 tbsp water
2 tbsp sparkling sugar

Instructions:

1. Let the pie crusts set out at room temperature for 10 min before using.
2. Spray a 12” x 17” rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
3. Using 3 of the pie crusts, fill the baking sheet completely with the dough. Cut the dough as necessary to cover the sheet pan.
4. Trim the dough even with the edge of the sheet pan and flute the edges.
5. Cut the excess dough into 12 stars using a mini star shaped cookie cutter.
6. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the remaining pie crust into ½-inch wide strips.
7. Use one of the long strips to create a small rectangle barrier in the top left corner of the sheet pan.
8. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tbsp water. Brush the egg wash over the top of the stars and stripes of dough.
9. Fill the large area completely with cherry pie filling.
10. Fill the small rectangle with blueberry pie filling.
11. Create 5 stripes on top of the cherry pie filling with the long strips of dough.
12. Arrange the stars on top of the blueberry pie filling.
13. Brush the edges of the pie crust with the remaining egg wash.
14. Sprinkle the stars and stripes with sparkling sugar.
15. Place the prepared pie in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to chill before baking.
16. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450°F.
17. Bake the pie for about 25 minutes or until the crusts are golden brown and the pie filling is bubbling. If the edges of the pie start to brown before the stars and stripes, cover the edges with foil and continue baking until the crusts on top of the pie are golden brown.
18. Let the pie set for about 10 minutes before slicing into and serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired. Enjoy!
