Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 1 cup Salted peanuts
- 1.5 cups Chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 0.25 cups Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, mini pretzels, salted peanuts, and mini marshmallows.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted (approximately 1.5 minutes total).
Stir in the vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal mixture in the large bowl. Gently stir until the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Add the powdered sugar to the bowl and gently toss until the mixture is fully coated and no longer sticky.
If using sprinkles, sprinkle them over the mix and toss gently to distribute them evenly.
Spread the snack mix onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper and allow it to cool and set for about 15 minutes.
Once completely cool, transfer the mix to a serving bowl or store in an airtight container for up to one week.
