Christmas Crunch Cereal Bars
These cereal bars are pretty similar to rice krispies treats, but I swapped in Chex cereal here. You can use corn or rice Chex.
You'll melt your butter and marshmallows, pour in the cereal, and then add some red and green sprinkles and m&m candies. So easy and super festive!

1/4 cup butter 10 ounces marshmallows 6 cups Chex cereal rice or corn variety 3/4 cup red and green m&m candies divided 2 tablespoons red and green nonpareils divided
In a large stock pot, heat the butter and marshmallows until melted together, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
Stir in the Chex cereal, 1 tablespoon of sprinkles, and half of the m&m candies, being careful not to break the cereal too much.
Press the mixture into a parchment lined 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining sprinkles and candy over the top.
Use a piece of wax paper sprayed with non-stick spray to press the cereal bars tightly into the pan.
Let set for 30 minutes before cutting and serving.
