Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 2 cups Pretzel sticks
- 1.5 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Peanuts (optional, roasted and unsalted)
- 0.5 cup M&M's or chocolate candies
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, pretzel sticks, and optional roasted peanuts. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the peanut butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave the mixture in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth (about 1-2 minutes total).
Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Gently toss using a spatula until everything is evenly coated.
Add the powdered sugar to the mixture and toss again until the powdered sugar evenly coats the snack mix.
Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Allow it to cool completely for about 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
Once cool, gently break apart any large clusters and stir in the mini marshmallows and M&M's or chocolate candies.
Transfer the Choco Peanut Butter Snack Mix to a large serving bowl or portion into individual snack bags. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to one week.
