Barbara's Notes + Tips
- Change up the sprinkles and M&M to match the occasion like stars for 4th of July, Easter egg M&M's in the Spring, or Christmas sprinkles around the holidays.
- You can use any combination of unsweetened cereal.
- Try adding nuts or more pretzels, the salt is a great combination with the sweet white chocolate.
- When melting the white chocolate, make sure you are melting at 50% power in the microwave and stirring every 30 seconds.
- Don't leave out the pretzels, you need the salt with the sweet.
- Try to use the best white chocolate you can find, I use Ghiradelli Premium White Chocolate Baking Bars or Lindt White Chocolate Bars if I'm feeling decadent.
