This recipe came from my mother in law, and has been very popular with everyone I have given it to! I make it around Christmas time, but feel free to use the various colored M&M's at different times of the year to change it up. You could even try coloring the white chocolate to give it a little more of a color match to the holiday/occasion you are making it for. I like this chex mix because there is no baking involved and it is very simple. My only suggestions is to add all of your ingredients to the bowl, minus the M&M's. Add those in after mixing around a little bit, to give the white chocolate a chance to cool down. Otherwise your M&M's will melt, making a big mess.

3 cups corn chex
3 cups cheerios
2 cups M&M's
1 1/2 cups peanuts
1 1/2 cups pretzels (I don't add pretzels, but they are in the original recipe)
2 packages white chocolate chips ( I add the whole 2 packages to coat the mixture a little more heavily)
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil

i tried this and it was great! i used one bag of white chocolate chips and one bag of milk chocolate though!! still tasted delicious (:
