2 cups Rice Chex cereal
2 cups Corn Chex cereal
1 1/2 cups Cheerios cereal
2 1/2 cups Gluten-Free pretzels
1 cup Salted peanuts
1 cup Red, White & Blue M&Ms
Instructions

3. Pour melted white chocolate over cereal mixture
4. Gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated
5. Spread onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer

Twisted pretzels provide better surface area for coating than sticks
