A nostalgic and addictive snack mix combining crunchy Rice Chex and Lucky Charms cereals coated in a silky chocolate and peanut butter mixture, dusted with powdered sugar. Perfect for parties, lunchboxes, or anytime cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 4 cups Lucky Charms cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups Rice Chex cereal and 4 cups Lucky Charms. Gently stir to blend, making sure not to crush the marshmallows.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, and 1/4 cup softened unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy (about 1.5 to 2 minutes).
  3. Stir 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture for extra flavor (optional).
  4. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the mixed cereals. Using a spatula, gently fold and stir until every piece is evenly coated.
  5. Carefully pour the coated mix into a large resealable plastic bag. Add 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake vigorously until the mix is well coated.
  6. Spread the coated snack mix onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool and set for 15 minutes.
  7. Once cooled, transfer the snack mix to an airtight container. Ready to serve or store.

Notes

Do not overheat the chocolate to avoid burning. Be gentle when folding to keep marshmallows intact. Shake well with powdered sugar for even coating. Cooling the mix on a baking sheet prevents clumps and keeps it crunchy. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
