Description
A delicious and easy treat made with chocolate, peanut butter, and Chex cereal, perfect for holidays and gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 12 ounces Chocolate Chex Cereal (other varieties of Chex may be substituted if necessary)
- 4 cups small pretzel twists (divided)
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1 pound Holiday M&M’s
- 1 cup holiday sprinkles (or to taste)
Instructions
- To a medium saucepan, add the chocolate chips, peanut butter, butter, and heat over medium-low heat to melt, stir very frequently until smooth and combined.
- Remove from the heat, add the vanilla salt, and stir to combine; set aside.
- To a very large bowl, add the Chex, 1 cup pretzels, pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the top, and stir very well to combine.
- Add the confectioners’ sugar and stir to combine. At this point, I recommend transferring everything into a jumbo plastic storage bag. You can shake the sugar around easier, more effectively, and unless you have a ginormous bowl, it will become hard to accommodate the remaining ingredients.
- Add the remaining pretzels, M&M’s, sprinkles, and shake or stir to combine. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
- Feel free to customize with different types of candy or nuts.
