Instructions
- Gather the crunchy base ingredients: Chex cereal, Cheerios, pretzels, M&M’s, and peanuts into a spacious mixing vessel.
- Thoroughly blend the dry components to ensure an even distribution of textures and flavors.

- If using stovetop, place bark pieces in a medium pot over low heat, continuously stirring until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- For microwave method, chop bark into smaller fragments and transfer to a microwave-safe container.
- Microwave in precise 30-second intervals, pausing to stir between each heating cycle until completely liquefied.
- Gently cascade the molten almond bark over the dry ingredient mixture, carefully folding to ensure thorough and uniform coating.
- Transfer the glossy concoction onto a wax paper or parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading evenly to create a uniform layer.
