Ingredients
6 cups Rice or Corn Chex Cereal
1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
1/4 cup Unsalted Butter
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
3/4 cup Brownie Mix
1 1/4 cups Powdered Sugar
Instructions
1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
2. Place Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour melted chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently fold with a spatula until fully coated.
3. Transfer the chocolate-coated cereal into a gallon-sized ziplock bag. Add brownie mix and powdered sugar. Seal the bag and shake until the cereal is well covered.
4. Spread the coated cereal on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let it cool completely for at least 30 minutes before serving or storing.
Notes
For even coating, shake in small batches using extra powdered sugar if needed.
Allow full cooling time to prevent stickiness and clumping.
Try cookie butter or almond butter for fun flavor variations.
