Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 9 cups Chex cereal (rice or corn)
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate and Peanut Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted.
- Coat the Cereal: Place the Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the cereal. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon to evenly coat every piece without crushing the cereal.
- Shake with Powdered Sugar: Transfer the coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag or separate into smaller bags. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag tightly, and shake vigorously until the cereal is evenly coated with the powdered sugar. Spread on parchment paper to cool and set before serving.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
- Use rice Chex for a gluten-free snack option.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- Try adding a pinch of sea salt for a sweet and salty flavor balance.
- Be gentle when stirring and coating the cereal to avoid breaking the pieces.
