Cranberry Bliss Party Mix is a festive and delicious snack mix combining crunchy cereal, sweet white chocolate, tangy dried cranberries, and spicy ginger cookies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12-oz.) box Rice or Corn Chex Cereal
  • 1 tbsp. kosher salt
  • 16 oz. (453 g) white chocolate chips or wafers, divided
  • 1 tbsp. finely grated orange zest
  • 1 1/2 c. (170 g) confectioners’ sugar, divided (or more as needed)
  • 1 1/2 c. dried cranberries
  • 4 1/2 oz. ginger cookies (such as Tate’s Bake Shop Ginger Zingers) or gingersnaps, broken into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Pour the cereal into a large bowl. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine kosher salt and 12 ounces of white chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the mixture is just melted and smooth, about 90 seconds total to avoid overheating or seizing.
  2. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold until the cereal is evenly coated. Add the finely grated orange zest and toss again to combine thoroughly.
  3. Place 1 cup of confectioners’ sugar into a 2-gallon zip-top bag (or divide between two 1-gallon bags). Add the chocolate-coated cereal mixture, then sprinkle 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar on top. Seal the bag with some air inside and gently shake until the cereal pieces are coated evenly. Add more confectioners’ sugar as needed until the desired coating is achieved.
  4. Spread the sugar-coated cereal mixture in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, allowing the chocolate to firm up and develop a crisp texture around the cereal.
  5. While the coated cereal sets, microwave the remaining 4 ounces of white chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth, approximately 1 minute total.
  6. Gently fold the dried cranberries and broken ginger cookies into the cereal mixture until everything is well combined.
  7. Transfer the melted white chocolate into a plastic or piping bag and snip a small corner off. Drizzle the white chocolate over the party mix evenly to finish.

Notes

  • This mix is great for holiday gatherings.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
  • Feel free to adjust confectioners’ sugar for desired sweetness.
