Peppermint and Chocolate Chex Mix

3 cups Rice Chex cereal
3 cups Chocolate Chex cereal
 1 bag (12 oz.) white vanilla baking chips (2 cups)*
1/2 cup coarsely crushed peppermint candy canes (16 miniature)
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips*

Mix cereals in a large microwaveable bowl. Line cookie sheet with foil or waxed paper. Crush candy canes.
In separate microwaveable bowl, melt white chocolate baking chips following package directions.
Mix half of crushed candy canes into white chocolate. Pour white chocolate mixture over cereals and stir to combine. Spread mixture evenly in single layer on cookie sheet and immediately sprinkle with remaining crushed candy canes.
Melt dark chocolate chips in microwave following package directions. Drizzle over top of cereals. Let stand until set.
Gently break into clusters and store in airtight container.

*I used Ghiradelli white chocolate and dark chocolate melting chips and doubled this recipe to make 13 portions.
