Can I make this mix Gluten free?
Yes, you can! The confetti Cheerios are already gluten free. If gluten free graham crackers or animal cookies are added instead of the regular animal crackers. That would work. Also, gluten free pretzels can be added as well.

Almond bark
The almond bark comes in premade squares which makes for easy dividing. I only used 1 square for this party mix but more can certainly be used if you want it to be covered more.
The almond bark is a lot like a chocolate covering and it goes on quite nicely. It will be melted according to package directions. About 30-45 seconds should be enough. The almond bark is just drizzled on top of the other ingredients.
Where to find the M&M's?
The M&M's I used were red and blue. You can find red, white and blue M&M's in some stores. However, they didn't have any where I was so I used regular M&M's and took the red and blue out of the package. Hey, it works!
This is a fun Patriotic Party Mix that can be taken to any gathering. No refrigeration required, no oven required. Only a quick mix and a little drizzle on top. Absolute perfection for your Red White and Blue celebration!
