TODAY, I share with you my favorite holiday treat. I call it Christmas Crunch (I won’t be sad if you call it Kristen’s Christmas Crunch). I’ve been making it for so long (before blogs and pinterest) that I have no idea where it came from. 3 simple ingredients, and ready in under 20 minutes, and the whole batch can be wrapped up into about 6-10 gifts for friends.
Christmas Crunch
- 2 reg. size bags MINT M&M’s
- 1 bag pretzels sticks
- 1 package white almond bark
Melt the white chocolate at your preferred method (I use a glass bowl in the microwave for 1.5-2 minutes, stirring in the middle).
As it melts, mix the m&m’s and pretzels in another bowl. Once the chocolate is all melted nicely, pour it into the mix. Stir.
To speed up the hardening process, you can place it in the freezer for 10 minutes or allow to set for 20 minutes or so. Brake it up and serve.
We took it to a party on a dish like this:
We will deliver them to friends and teachers in a bag with an ornament like this:
We get rave reviews every time!

- Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet before you prepare the other items.

I want to be your neighbor.
I’d love for you to be my neighbor!
Love these sweet treats. I think I have to try this.
This concept is pretty unique.
Thank you.
Enjoy, it’s delicious!
I have a similar recipe with the addition of some “Cinnamon Toast Crunch” cereal in the mixture. I use M & M peanuts, as our family are not big “mint” lovers.
Oooh, that sounds delish!
You made this one look so easy, that I just HAVE to try it! It’s funny, I was just searching the Internet for a simple and quick gift idea, and then your post popped up. Perfect timing! Thanks for sharing.
It’s quick and stretches far!
Wins points on both time commitment and taste! We’re trying it!
wooohoo!
I love love love them!!!!!!!!
