Instructions

Line a cookie pan with parchment paper. Set aside. Next, divide Chex Mix between two gallon-size plastic bags and set aside.
Smash your Circus Animal Cookies in a plastic bag with a rolling pin. Leave some in larger pieces for variety. Do the same with your pretzels, but leave them in fairly large pieces.
Melt your candy melts in the microwave according to the package directions. Pour half the melted candy in each plastic bag and shake around to coat all the cereal.
Add ½ cup powdered sugar to each bag and toss to cover the candy-coated cereal pieces. Now, add half cookies and pretzels to each bag and mix. You can add a few larger cookie pieces for color.
Place it on cookie pan to solidify and add red, pink & white M&MS. Enjoy!
