Instructions
- Place the cereal in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Add the chocolate chips and the peanut butter to a medium microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave the chocolate chips and peanut butter for 30 seconds.
- Stir.
- Continue microwaving and stirring in 15 second intervals until melted.
- Stir until smooth and well-combined.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal.
- Use a spatula to carefully toss the cereal until completely coated.
- Add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder to a resealable gallon sized plastic bag.
- Seal and shake to combine.
- Add the chocolate coated cereal to the baggie a little at a time.
- Seal, then shake.
- Repeat until cereal is coated in the chocolate sugar.
- Spread the cereal out in a single layer on a sheet of parchment paper to cool.
- Combine the cereal, M&M's, peanut butter cups, and pretzels in a large bowl to serve.
Notes
- Rice Chex cereal - Corn Chex or Crispix cereal will also work.
- Semisweet chocolate chips - You can also use milk chocolate chips for a sweeter treat.
- Creamy peanut butter - Regular peanut butter (like Jiff or Skippy) works best.
- Powdered sugar - If your powdered sugar is lumpy, sift it to help it better combine with the cocoa powder.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder - Dutch-processed cocoa powder would also work.
- Christmas M&M's - Any flavor of seasonal M&M candies will work. FYI - a 7.6 bag is about 1.5 cups.
- Pretzel twists or shapes - I like to use the Christmas-shaped pretzels, but twists or even small pretzel sticks will work.
