Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 cup Unsalted mixed nuts
- 1 scoop High-protein vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup Natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine Corn Chex cereal, Rice Chex cereal, and mixed nuts. Stir gently to mix.
In a medium saucepan, melt the peanut butter over low heat. Add honey and stir until well combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract, high-protein vanilla protein powder, cocoa powder, and salt into the peanut butter and honey mixture. Mix until smooth and slightly thickened.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the dark chocolate chips until smooth and melted.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal and nuts in the mixing bowl.
Gently toss the mixture until all the cereal and nuts are well coated with the chocolate mixture.
Spread the Chex mix evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Let it cool completely to allow the chocolate to set, about 30 minutes. For faster setting, refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
Break the Chex mix into bite-sized pieces and store in an airtight container.
Serve as a snack or a quick energy-boosting treat.
