Ingredients

4-5 cups Rice Chex cereal
▢  ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
▢  ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
▢  2 Tablespoons salted butter
▢  1 teaspoon vanilla extract
▢  ¾ cup powdered sugar plus more if desired
▢  1 cup mini pretzels plus more if desired
▢  ½-1 cup Reese's Minis plus more if desired
▢  ½ cup Christmas M&M's plus more if desired

Instructions

In a large bowl, add Chex cereal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave 1 minute. Stir until melted. Microwave an additional 15 seconds, if needed. Stir in vanilla.
Pour chocolate mixture over the cereal. Stir until well coated. Transfer to a zip-top bag.
Add powdered sugar and shake until well coated. Pour in the pretzels, Reese's Minis, and M&M's. Add more powdered sugar, if desired. Spread onto a piece of wax paper to cool before serving.

Notes

Double Boiler: You can just as easily melt the chocolate mixture in a double boiler instead of the microwave.

Variation: Feel free to add in any extras, like different M&M’s (we love peanut butter M&M’s), chocolate chips, chopped oreos, chopped candy bars (like Heath). nuts, or mini marshmallows.

Storage: Store in airtight container or zip-top bag up to 1 week. Store in the freezer up to 3 months.
