Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 6 cups Rice Chex or Corn Chex cereal
- 1 cup (175 g) white chocolate chips or white candy melts
- 1/4 cup (60 g) peanut butter (or substitute with almond butter or cookie butter)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (180 g) powdered sugar
- 1 cup (150 g) pastel-colored M&M’s or similar candies
- 1/2 cup (60 g) pastel sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate Mixture:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth and melted.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Coat the Cereal:
- Place the Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently stir until the cereal is evenly coated.
- Add the Powdered Sugar:
- Transfer the coated cereal to a large resealable plastic bag or a large bowl with a lid. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag (or cover the bowl), and shake well until all the cereal pieces are coated in powdered sugar.
- Mix in the Extras:
- Pour the coated cereal into a clean mixing bowl. Gently stir in the pastel M&M’s and sprinkles.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or omit it entirely.
- Add mini marshmallows or coconut flakes for additional texture and flavor.
- Use food-safe pastel powders to color the powdered sugar for extra Easter flair.
