Pour the melted mixture over the cereal, pretzels, and nuts, and stir until evenly coated.
Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Melt the chocolate chips and drizzle over the cooled mix. Then drizzle the melted white chocolate or almond bark for extra decoration.

Allow to set completely before breaking into pieces and serving.
