What you'll need:

Pretzels - Mini twists, snaps or rods.
Cheerios - I like to use regular but honey nut is also delicious.
Peanuts - You may choose to leave the peanuts out or substitute another nut of your choosing.
Almond Bark - I prefer the vanilla flavor and melting of almond bark but white chocolate chips will also work.
M&Ms - I used plain M&Ms but I also love peanut M&Ms, mini M&Ms or peanut butter if you can find them. Be sure to choose patriotic colored.
Sprinkles - Don't be shy to add lots of sprinkles! Use one or a variety for lots of red, white and blue.
