I make one with corn chex, cheerios, pretzels and red & green M&M's. It's then mixed with melted white chocolate. (You can add nuts too, but I don't)

I'm sure the hardest part about this recipe is waiting for it to cool completely before adding the chocolate so you can dive right in. It sounds yummy!
