Corn Chex cereal coated in melted chocolate and peanut butter, then shaken in powdered sugar. A make-ahead party snack that makes about 13 cups.

Ingredients

  • 1 box (12 ounces) Corn Chex
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup butter cubed
  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar

Directions

  • Put the cereal in a large bowl.
  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave on high for 30 seconds and stir gently; keep going in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted and smooth.
  • Pour over the cereal and stir gently to coat.
  • Work in batches: put confectioners' sugar in a large airtight container, add some of the cereal, close the lid, and shake until well coated.
  • Spread on a baking sheet and let stand until set.

Notes

Store in airtight containers or a resealable bag up to a week; can be frozen, but the texture suffers. Contains peanuts. Prep 15 min.
