# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in literally ten minutes with zero cooking required
  • The sweet and salty combination is completely addictive and impossible to stop eating
  • You can customize the colors for any holiday or celebration throughout the year
02 -
  • Melting white chocolate can be tricky so use short bursts in the microwave and stir frequently to prevent seizing
  • Add the sprinkles immediately after spreading because once the chocolate sets, they wont stick
  • Work quickly once the chocolate is melted or it will start to harden before you can coat everything evenly
03 -
  • If your melted white chocolate seems too thick to coat everything evenly, add a teaspoon of coconut oil to thin it out
  • Use a really large bowl because you need space to toss everything gently without crushing the cereal and popcorn
