Ingredients

  • 9 cups Chex cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup pretzel twists broken into pieces
  • 1 cup M&Ms holiday
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

  • Pour the Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl and set it aside.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture over the Chex cereal, gently folding and stirring until all the cereal is evenly coated.
  • Place the confectioners' sugar in a large resealable plastic bag. Add the chocolate-coated Chex cereal to the bag, seal it tightly, and shake vigorously until all the cereal is coated with the sugar.
  • Spread the coated cereal onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper and set for about 10 minutes.
  • Once set, sprinkle the cereal with the pretzel pieces, M&M candies, and mini marshmallows. Gently toss until everything is evenly distributed.
  • Store in an airtight container or divide it into festive bags or jars for gifting.
