Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Chex Cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Snack Mix Add-ins

  • ½ cup mini peanut butter cups
  • ½ cup orange and black chocolate candy
  • ½ cup candy eyes
  • ½ cup candy corn

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cereal: Place 6 cups of Rice Chex Cereal into a large mixing bowl, ensuring the cereal is evenly distributed for coating.
  2. Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup chocolate chips, ½ cup creamy peanut butter, and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter.
  3. Microwave and Stir: Heat the mixture in the microwave for 1 minute, then stir thoroughly until the ingredients are completely melted and combined into a smooth chocolate sauce.
  4. Coat Cereal: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal in the large bowl, stirring gently but thoroughly to coat every piece of cereal evenly with the chocolate.
  5. Add Powdered Sugar: Place 2 cups powdered sugar into a large resealable plastic bag.
  6. Combine Mixtures: Transfer the chocolate-coated cereal into the bag with powdered sugar, seal it tightly, then toss and shake the bag vigorously until all pieces are well coated with powdered sugar.
  7. Transfer to Bowl: Open the bag and pour the coated cereal into a large serving bowl.
  8. Mix Snack Add-ins: Add ½ cup mini peanut butter cups, ½ cup orange and black chocolate candy, ½ cup candy eyes, and ½ cup candy corn to the bowl.
  9. Stir to Combine: Gently stir all ingredients together to distribute the candies evenly throughout the snack mix.
  10. Store Properly: Place the finished snack mix into an airtight container to maintain freshness until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use a large bowl and bag to prevent spillage when coating cereal with powdered sugar.
  • Microwave times may vary; heat the chocolate mixture in 20-second intervals if needed to avoid burning.
  • Store the snack mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and omit mini peanut butter cups.
  • Ensure that candy eyes and candy corn are fresh for the best texture and flavor.
