- 1 cup Reese’s Cups mini
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Add the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla to a large bowl. Whisk to combine, then add the Chex cereal and pretzel twists, tossing to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread it into a single layer.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then stir the Chex and pretzel mixture and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Allow the mix to cool to room temperature and then break it into bite size pieces. Add the Reese’s Pieces, chocolate chips, and Reese’s Cups and toss to combine.
Notes
- Storage: Store chocolate peanut butter chex mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- You can use unsalted butter, but be sure to add a pinch of salt!
- If you can't find Peanut Butter Chex cereal, you can use Rice Chex or Chocolate Chex instead.
- Feel free to use any pretzel shape you like.
- In place of Reese's Pieces, you can use peanut or peanut butter M&Ms.
- Feel free to use whatever kind of chocolate chips you like, such as milk, semisweet, or dark chocolate.
- You can add other mix-ins, such as peanuts, Cheerios, or peanut butter baking chips!
- Toss the Chex and pretzels well in the butter-sugar mix to completely coat them; this will allow them to crisp up better.
- Don't skip stirring the Chex mix halfway through baking; this also helps it to crisp more evenly.
- Allow the Chex mix to cool completely before stirring in the Reese's Pieces, chocolate chips, and Reese's Cups; otherwise, they may begin to melt.
- Let the Chex mix cool completely before storing; otherwise, it may become soggy.
