4. Pour the melted white chocolate into the bowl, gently stir to evenly coat the cereal mixture.
5. Quickly add the mini m&m candies, crushed peppermints, and sprinkles to the bowl. Gently toss to evenly distribute the candies with the chocolate-coated cereal mixture, making sure that the candies stick to the melted chocolate.

6. Divide the mixture evenly between the two prepared baking pans and spread into an even layer. If desired, sprinkle additional nonpareils over the mix before the chocolate fully sets. Allow the mixture to set for 15-20 minutes at room temperature or until the white chocolate has hardened.
7. Once completely set, carefully break apart the Christmas Chex mix and add to a clean large bowl for serving or airtight container for storage.
