Ingredients

  • 7 cups Chex cereal
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • 2 cups powdered sugar (if you don't want as thick a coating of powdered sugar you can cut it back to 1 1/2 cups)
  • 2 cups red and green m&ms

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large microwave safe bowl melt chocolate chips and peanut butter for 30 seconds and then stir. Continue microwaving in 15 second increments, stirring after each time, until chocolate is completely melted. Stir in vanilla.
  2. Gently fold in chex cereal being careful not to break up the pieces until it's evenly coated.
  3. Add powdered sugar to a large zip top bag and then add cereal mixture. Seal the bag and shake well until each piece is evenly covered with powdered sugar.*
  4. Transfer chow back to a clean bowl and fold in M&Ms.
  5. Store in an airtight container.
