Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Chex Cereal
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • Lucky Charms Marshmallows (desired amount for topping)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips
  • 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1/4 cup Butter
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cereal: Pour 6 cups of Rice Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside to get ready for coating.
  2. Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1 cup milk chocolate chips, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, and 1/4 cup butter. Stir frequently until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Coat Cereal: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal in the large bowl, stirring gently but thoroughly until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated.
  4. Apply Powdered Sugar: Transfer the coated cereal into a large gallon-sized Ziplock bag. Add 2 cups powdered sugar to the bag, seal it tightly, and shake vigorously until the powdered sugar evenly coats the cereal pieces for a crunchy, sweet finish.
  5. Add Marshmallows: To retain their bright colors and texture, sprinkle your desired amount of Lucky Charms marshmallows on top of the coated cereal just before serving. Mix lightly to combine if preferred.

Notes

  • Use a low heat setting to prevent burning the chocolate mixture while melting.
  • Make sure the cereal is completely coated before adding powdered sugar for best results.
  • Adding marshmallows right before serving preserves their colors and prevents them from getting soggy.
  • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and use allergy-friendly chocolate chips.
