The magic happens when you drizzle the mix with a luscious layer of melted white chocolate. Use either white chocolate chips or coating chocolate, melted to perfection in the microwave or on a double boiler. The smooth and creamy white chocolate acts as the glue that binds all the ingredients together, creating a harmonious medley of flavors in every bite.

Melting Chocolate Made Easy

Melting chocolate can be a breeze with these simple steps:

  1. Microwave Method: a. Place the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. b. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted.
  2. Double Boiler Method: a. Set up a double boiler with simmering water. b. Place the chocolate in the top bowl and stir until melted.
Mix and Spread the Jolly Jingle Mix

Once the chocolate is silky smooth, pour it over the Captain Crunch, M&M’s, and pretzel balls. Gently mix until every piece is coated in the sweet goodness. Spread the mixture evenly on two parchment or wax paper-lined sheet trays, allowing it to cool and set.
