8 chocolate sandwich cookies, broken into quarters
→ Confectionery Additions

# How to Make It:
01 -
Divide mini pretzels, caramel popcorn, and broken sandwich cookies into separate bowls.
02 -
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate melting wafers in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring thoroughly after each interval until smooth. Add 5 mL neutral oil for extra shine if desired.
03 -
Pour melted chocolate over the pretzels, caramel popcorn, and cookies in their individual bowls, tossing to evenly coat each piece. Work in batches and melt additional chocolate as needed.
04 -
Transfer coated pretzels, popcorn, and cookies onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Allow to set at room temperature until chocolate is firm.
05 -
Melt white chocolate wafers gently, then use a spoon to lightly drizzle over set pretzels and caramel corn.
06 -
Once all coated items are set, combine them in a large bowl. Add mini peanut butter cups and candy-coated chocolates, tossing gently to distribute evenly.
07 -
Transfer finished mix to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to one week.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For faster preparation, use pre-coated chocolate pretzels or caramel popcorn found in most supermarkets.
02 -
Ghirardelli melting wafers yield the smoothest chocolate coating but high-quality chocolate bars or chips can be substituted with a small amount of oil added to facilitate melting.
03 -
Choose favourite varieties of sandwich cookies, peanut butter cups, or chocolates to personalize the mix.
