Christmas Party Mix Recipe 455

Steps:

• Line large rimmed cookie sheet with waxed paper. In large bowl, mix cereal, marshmallows and pretzels.
• In medium microwavable bowl, microwave candy coating uncovered on High 60 to 90 seconds, stirring after 1 minute, until almost melted. Stir until smooth. Pour onto cereal mixture; mix well.
• Spread on cookie sheet; sprinkle with holiday sprinkles, and cool completely, about 15 minutes. Break into bite-size pieces.
• In 2-quart resealable food-storage plastic bag, add coated cereal pieces and powdered sugar. Seal bag; shake to coat. Remove from bag; discard any remaining powdered sugar.
• In large serving bowl, mix coated cereal mixture and chocolate candies.

Steps:

• Tear two large pieces of parchment paper and place on counter. Combine first 8 ingredients; then divide the mixture and spread out on two large jellyroll pans. Melt half the block of almond bark as directed on package. (I heated it in a small non-stick saucepan.) Drizzle the melted candy over one pan of the mixture then use a egg turner to flip it over and over until the mixture is coated well. Spread mixture out on one sheet of the parchment. Melt other half of almond bark and repeat the previous step for the other pan of mixture. Allow about 2 hours for the candy to harden before breaking into pieces. Transfer mixture to a serving dish then garnish with extra M&M's and Santa Hats, if desired. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Santa Hats Bugles snack chips Red candy melts Tiny white nonpareils Mini marshmallows Directions Melt candy melts as directed on package. Dip a Bugle in melted candy. Dip brim of hat in the nonpareils. Set aside to dry on a waxed-paper lined baking sheet. (If they won't stand, just lay them down.) Continue dipping until desired number of hats are made. Stick a mini marshmallow on the tip of each hat.
