The Palmetto Plate: White Chocolate Chex Mix
There are certain treats that don’t just taste like Christmas… they announce it.
You know the ones…where the very first bite feels like slipping into the coziest part of the season, like turning on the tree lights or hearing the opening notes of your favorite carol.
A sweet reader, Tasha Rogers, sent in a family recipe that does exactly that for her crew. She told me, “This is the treat that always means Christmas has begun for us.” And y’all… it is perfect.
Simple, nostalgic, a little crunchy, a little sweet, and absolutely made for gifting, snacking, and keeping on the counter in a pretty jar that everyone mysteriously empties.
Today, I get to share it with you thanks to Tasha sharing it with all of us!
Tasha’s White Chocolate Chex Mix
Festive, foolproof, and perfect for sharing
Ingredients
1 package vanilla almond bark
4 cups Chex cereal
1 big bag M&M’s (regular or peanut—both are delicious!)
1 can or jar roasted, salted peanuts
2 cups pretzels
Instructions
Add the Chex, M&M’s, peanuts, and pretzels to an extra-large bowl.
Melt the vanilla almond bark in the microwave in 1-minute increments, stirring often until smooth.
Pour the warm white chocolate over your mix and stir until everything is fully coated.
Here’s Tasha’s best tip: add a little more Chex at this point until the proportions look just right to you. You truly cannot mess this up!
Spread the mixture onto a long sheet of parchment paper and let it cool completely.
Once hardened, break it apart and store it in an airtight container.
It makes a lot—which is exactly what we need this time of year. Bag it up for neighbors, teachers, delivery drivers, your kids’ friends… or pour it into a bowl for the very important job of snacking while watching Christmas movies.
A Tradition Worth Keeping
I love that this recipe comes straight from one of our readers & friends, passed with kindness and community from Tasha to all of us. These are the little treasures that make the holidays feel warm and connected.
Tasha, thank you for sharing a piece of your Christmas with us. And to everyone reading the very first edition of Palmetto & Pine… I’m so honored you’re here!
If you try this mix, you better believe I want to see it. Tag me on Instagram and let me know if this becomes a new tradition in your home too. 🎄💛
