Ingredients
- 9 cups rice Chex
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups mini pretzels slightly crushed
- 1 1/2 cups candy corn
- 1 1/2 cups Oreos slightly chopped
- 1 cup Reese's Pieces
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup brownie mix
Instructions
- Pour the Chex cereal into a large bowl and set it aside.
- In a microwave-proof bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave for 30-90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate chips are completely melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the Chex cereal and gently stir to coat, trying not to crush the cereal. Divide between two gallon-size Ziploc bags and pour the powdered sugar into one and the brownie mix into the other, then seal and shake to evenly coat all of the cereal.
- Spread the cereal out on parchment paper to let the chocolate firm up a bit, for about 20 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the chocolate coated cereal with the pretzel pieces, candy corn, Oreo pieces, and Reese's pieces. Store in an air-tight container.
