In a large bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, mini pretzels, almonds, and pecans. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of each ingredient.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
Stir the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal mix. Use a spatula to gently fold the mixture until all pieces are evenly coated with chocolate.
Sprinkle the sea salt over the mixture while the chocolate is still wet, and stir gently to ensure the salt adheres to the chocolate.
Spread the mixture out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let it sit at room temperature, or refrigerate, until the chocolate has fully set.
Once the chocolate has hardened, break the mix into chunks and toss with the powdered sugar until evenly coated.
Store the Vegan Chocolate Chex Mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
