Description
A delicious and easy treat made with corn Chex, coated in chocolate and peanut butter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 cups corn Chex cereal
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk or semisweet, I like Guittard or Ghirardelli)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup miniature M&M’s
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Measure cereal into a large bowl and set aside.
- In a separate large microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter, chocolate chips, butter, and salt. Microwave in bursts of 15 seconds, stirring between each burst for 15 seconds until the mixture is melted and smooth. Mix in vanilla.
- Pour over the cereal. Stir well until the cereal is evenly coated. Take care not to crush the cereal while stirring.
- Pour half the cereal mixture into a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag and pour half the powdered sugar over it. Seal and shake until the cereal is evenly coated.
- Repeat with the other half of the cereal and powdered sugar. Shake until all the cereal is well coated.
- Pour into a large bowl and enjoy! If desired, stir in a fun addition such as mini M&M’s or mini chocolate chips.
Notes
- This treat can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Feel free to customize the mix with your favorite add-ins.
