Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups Chocolate Chex cereal
- 1 cup pretzels
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the Chocolate Chex cereal and pretzels until evenly distributed.
- Melt wet ingredients: Place chocolate chips, peanut butter, and honey in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave mixture: Heat the bowl in the microwave for about 30 seconds, then stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Coat cereal mix: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal and pretzels in the large bowl.
- Toss to coat: Gently toss everything together to ensure the cereal and pretzels are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
- Add powdered sugar: Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the coated mix and toss again to distribute the sugar evenly and add a sweet finish.
- Cool the mix: Spread the coated mix evenly on a baking sheet and let it cool completely to allow the coating to set.
- Store the mix: Once cooled, transfer the Chocolate Chex Mix to an airtight container to keep it fresh.
Notes
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different flavor.
- Try adding nuts, such as peanuts or almonds, for extra crunch and protein.
- Make sure to spread the mix on a baking sheet to cool completely; this prevents clumping and helps the coating harden.
- Store the mix at room temperature in an airtight container for up to one week for best freshness.
- Microwave times may vary, so heat in 15-second intervals if needed, stirring in between.
