White Chocolate Cereal Clusters Satisfy Every Sweet ‘n Salty Craving

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at BU chapter.

Finding ways to sneak sweet, carb-loaded breakfast foods into the rest of the day is the ultimate game changer. The classic sweet and salty pairing makes a warmly-welcomed appearance in these dorm-friendly snacks.

The white chocolate keeps things light, but with the addition of the savory pretzel and peanut mixture these clusters accomplish a satisfying result for all your tastebuds. Plus, they’re incredibly easy to make. White chocolate isn’t for everyone but the beauty in this snack comes with its room for creativity.

Throw in any of your favorite crunchies like chex, cheerios, or almonds to replace anything you aren’t crazy about in this suggested recipe. If you want to get a little colorful, add sprinkles or drizzle icing on top. Seriously, go all out. The messier, the better.
