Ingredients

  • 9 cups Chex cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup pretzels
  • ½-1 cup M&M's candy

Instructions

  • Pour cereal into a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter for 1 minute. Stir and microwave for 30 seconds or until the chocolate is melted. Stir in the vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal. Stir until the cereal is evenly coated.
  • Pour the chocolate-covered cereal into a large zip-top bag. Add the powdered sugar and seal the bag. Shake the bag until the cereal is evenly coated with powdered sugar. Toss in M&M's candy and pretzels. Add in more or less toppings to preference.
  • Spread the coated cereal mix on a large parchment or wax paper-lined baking sheet. Let the chocolate set before transferring it into an airtight container.
