Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Mixture
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Snack Mix
- 9 cups Chex cereal
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup M&Ms
- Sprinkles of your choice (amount as desired)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Mixture: In a microwavable bowl, combine the peanut butter, butter, and milk chocolate chips. Microwave the mixture for 1 minute, then stir thoroughly until the mixture is completely melted and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and stir again to incorporate.
- Coat the Cereal: Place the Chex cereal into a large bowl with a cover. Pour the warm chocolate mixture over the cereal, then cover the bowl and shake vigorously until all pieces are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
- Add Powdered Sugar: Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the coated cereal. Cover the bowl again and shake until the powdered sugar is evenly distributed and coats the cereal pieces well.
- Mix in Add-ins: Finally, add the M&Ms and your choice of sprinkles to the bowl. Gently mix to combine all ingredients evenly without crushing the cereal.
- Serve or Store: Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week to enjoy this festive snack later.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest coating and best texture.
- If the chocolate mixture is too thick, microwave in additional 15-second intervals to soften before pouring over the cereal.
- Ensure the bowl has a secure lid for easy shaking and even coating.
- Customize with different types of candy or nuts to suit your preferences.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
