Instructions
- Gather a spacious sealable bag and pour in crisp Chex cereal along with crunchy pretzel fragments, ensuring ample mixing space.
- Utilize a microwave-safe container to transform white chocolate chips into a smooth, glossy liquid through careful 30-second intervals, stirring diligently between each heating cycle to prevent scorching.
