Recipe Notes

The Candy: Swap the candies based on your preference or the holiday. Use red and green M&M's for a festive look. Try chopped Oreos, Reese's Pieces, or other favorite small chocolate candies.
For a Peanut Allergy: Simply omit the mini peanut butter cups and use plain or another variety of M&M's.
For a Gluten-Free Version: Make sure to use a gluten-free cereal like Rice Chex and swap in your favorite gluten-free pretzels.
