1 (20 ounce) package miniature pretzels

2 Mix pretzels, corn cereal, peanuts, and candy-coated milk chocolate pieces together in a large bowl.
3 Melt white chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching.
