Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 3 cups Chex cereal (any variety)
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Peanut butter cups (mini or chopped into small pieces)
- 0.5 cup Candy-coated chocolate (e.g., M&M's)
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
Step 2
Add the Chex cereal to the melted chocolate and gently stir until the cereal is evenly coated.
Step 3
Lay a large piece of parchment paper on a clean countertop or baking sheet. Spread the chocolate-covered cereal out in a single layer for it to cool slightly.
Step 4
Once the chocolate has hardened slightly but is still tacky, sprinkle the powdered sugar over the cereal evenly to prevent it from sticking together.
Step 5
In another large mixing bowl, combine the pretzels, mini marshmallows, peanut butter cups, and candy-coated chocolate.
Step 6
Break the chocolate-coated cereal into small clusters and add it to the mixing bowl with the other ingredients.
Step 7
Gently toss everything together until well combined.
Step 8
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
