Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup M&Ms or festive sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by clearing your counter and gathering ingredients. Set out two large bowls—one for mixing and one for coating.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and peanut butter; microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth, stirring well after each interval.
- Stir in vanilla extract until fully incorporated into the mixture.
- Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the Rice Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Gently fold until all pieces are coated without crushing them.
- Transfer the coated cereal into a gallon-sized bag filled with powdered sugar. Seal tightly and shake vigorously until every piece is covered.
- Pour into a serving bowl and sprinkle with M&Ms or sprinkles if desired.
