Chocolate-coated Chex Mix is a mouthwatering munchie that works for any get-together. It brings together crunchy Rice Chex with a decadent blend of chocolate and peanut butter, then gets tossed in brownie mix and confectioners' sugar for that can't-stop-eating chocolate bite.
INGREDIENTS- Rice Chex cereal: 5 cups
- Peanut butter: 1/4 cup
- Semisweet chocolate chips: 1 cup
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- Powdered sugar: 1/2 cup
- Brownie mix (dry): 1 1/2 cups
- Step 1:
- Put Rice Chex cereal into a big bowl for mixing.
- Step 2:
- Mix chocolate chips and peanut butter in a bowl safe for the microwave. Heat in 30-second bursts, giving it a stir each time, until it's all smooth. Add vanilla and mix well.
- Step 3:
- Drizzle the chocolate mix over your cereal. Fold everything together carefully so all pieces get covered.
- Step 4:
- Mix the brownie mix powder and powdered sugar in a big ziplock bag. Dump in your chocolate-covered cereal, close the bag tight, and shake it all around until every piece is coated.
- Step 5:
- Lay out your mix on a tray lined with parchment and let it cool down and harden.
- Step 6:
- Once it's set, dump it in a serving bowl or pack it away in a sealed container. Dig in and enjoy!
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- Serve as a party snack or a sweet treat for any occasion.
- Use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips for a flavor variation.
- For extra crunch, add chopped nuts or mini pretzels to the mix before coating with chocolate.
Tips from Well-Known Chefs
- Chill the mixture for 10 minutes after coating to speed up the setting process.
