- Fun & Tasty Variations To Try!
- Use Your Favorite M&Ms – I chose to use milk chocolate M&Ms but feel free to choose your favorite! Peanuts, white chocolate pretzels, or peanut butter M&Ms would all be tasty additions!
- Pretzel Choice – If you can’t find the Utz holiday pretzels you can use mini pretzels. Pretzel sticks also work but you may want to break them in half!
- Add Some Salty Flavor – For a saltier flavor, you can add in peanuts or sprinkle the mix with sea salt as it sets up!
- More Mix-Ins – You could also add in some mix-ins once the snack mix has set! Things like mini peanut butter cups, snow caps, mini marshmallows, and chocolate-covered raisins, would all add delicious contrasting flavor!
- Make It For Any Holiday – Though this recipe is geared toward Christmas you can totally make it for any holiday! Just simply grab sprinkles and colored M&Ms with the matching color theme to the holiday. For example, red and pink M&Ms and sprinkles for Valentine’s Day!
