Ingredients

Scale

½ cup creamy peanut butter

½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chips)

3 cups rice Chex cereal (I used cinnamon-flavored Chex Mix)

1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. In a saucepot, combine peanut butter and chocolate chips.
  2. Set over medium-high heat and heat until melted. Stir to combine.
  3. Add half the cereal into a large bowl.
  4. Pour half the chocolate-peanut butter mixture into the bowl and stir to combine.
  5. Add the remaining cereal and the rest of the chocolate-peanut butter mixture. Stir until the cereal is evenly coated. 
  6. Let the mixture cool down slightly. You can refrigerate it, but do not allow the chocolate to harden.
  7. Once the chocolate is cooled down, add half the powdered sugar. Toss or stir the cereal until it’s coated with powdered sugar. *Pro tip: place the cereals in a mesh sieve and add powdered sugar. Toss gently until the cereals are coated. This will give you nice light sugar dust over your cereal. 
  8. Repeat the coating process with the remaining cereal and powdered sugar. 
  9. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
