Materials

  • 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Add half (3 cups) of the cereal to a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Add peanut butter and chocolate to a small bowl and melt in the microwave, heating for 15 - 30 seconds at a time and then stirring until smooth and combined. Stir in salt. Alternatively you can melt on the stovetop.
  • Pour roughly half of the chocolate mixture over the cereal. Add the remaining cereal to the bowl on top, and then pour the rest of the chocolate mixture. Stir everything until evenly coated.
  • Let cereal cool slightly (but don't let it harden). Once around room temperature, add 1 cup of powdered sugar to the bowl. Mix until combined. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  • Remove and remaining sugar, coating evenly. Alternatively, you can put the coated cereal mixture into a resealable plastic baggie, add the powdered sugar, and shake to coat.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
