Ingredients
- 8 cups Corn Chex
- 3 cups pretzel twists or sticks
- 2 cups popped popcorn
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 2 (12-ounce) packages white melting wafers, preferably Ghirardelli

Instructions
- Have ready rimmed sheet pans lined with parchment paper and sprinkles.
- Have two sheet pans lined with either wax or parchment paper and set aside.
- Add chex, pretzels, popcorn, and marshmallows to a very large bowl and mix.
- Melt the candy wafers according to package directions.
- Pour over melted wafers and use a large spoon to gently mix. As soon as the melted candy wafers are mixed in, add all of the sprinkles and mix once more.
- Transfer to two rimmed sheet pans and add the M&M’s, Muddy Buddy’s, and Reeses, dividing each ingredient evenly between the two pans. Toss to combine and set aside to set.

- Let sit at room temperature until the chocolate is set, about 1 ½ hours. (Alternatively, refrigerate for about 45 minutes.) Break into pieces with your hands.
