Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Gallon-size zipper bags

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt if using unsalted butter
  • 8 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 cups dry roasted peanuts
  • 1 cup candy corn

Instructions

  • Combine the chocolate chips, butter, and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth.
  • Stir in the vanilla (and a pinch of salt if using unsalted butter).
  • Place the cereal in a large bowl. Pour the chocolate mixture over it and gently fold until evenly coated.
  • Add 1 cup powdered sugar to each of two gallon-size zipper bags. Divide the coated cereal between the bags.
  • Seal and shake until well coated.
  • Combine in a bowl and stir in the peanuts and candy corn.

Notes

  • Fold gently so the cereal doesn't break.
  • Candy corn is optional. Peanuts alone are delicious.
  • Store airtight at room temperature up to 1 week.
