Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 1 cup Dry roasted peanuts
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup White chocolate chips
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, mini pretzels, dry roasted peanuts, and mini marshmallows. Gently toss to mix evenly.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate and butter are melted and the mixture is smooth. Avoid overheating.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal mixture. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated.
Once combined, spread the mixture onto a large parchment-lined baking sheet in an even layer.
Sprinkle the powdered sugar evenly over the top of the mixture while it's still slightly warm. Use your hands or a spoon to gently toss and coat the pieces in the sugar.
Allow the Chex Mix Candy to cool and set completely, about 30 minutes at room temperature or 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
Break the candy into bite-sized clusters and transfer to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy!
