Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Chex cereal

- 1 cup Mini pretzel sticks (unsalted)
- 1 cup Unsalted mixed nuts
- 1 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 quarter cup Honey

Instructions
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 4 cups of Rice Chex cereal, 3 cups of Corn Chex cereal, 1 cup of unsalted mini pretzel sticks, and 1 cup of unsalted mixed nuts.
In a smaller microwave-safe bowl, add 1 cup of dark chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, and 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder.
Microwave the chocolate mixture on high for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 quarter cup of honey into the melted chocolate mixture.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal mix and gently toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
Transfer the chocolate-coated mix into a large zipper plastic bag. Add 1 cup of powdered sugar to the bag.
Seal the bag and shake until the mix is thoroughly coated with the powdered sugar.
Spread the finished Chex mix onto a lined baking sheet to cool and allow the chocolate to set for at least 15 minutes.
Once cool, store the Low Sodium Chocolate Chex Mix in an airtight container for up to a week.
