Irresistible Microwave Chocolate Peanut Butter Chex Crunch

Ingredients

- 3/4 cup Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Spread
- 1/4 cup Butter
- 1 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips
- 9 cups Rice Chex Cereal
- 1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cinnamon Sugar

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients:
Gather all ingredients and prepare a large microwave-safe bowl. This will be used for melting chocolate and mixing later.

2. Create Chocolate Mixture:
In the microwave-safe bowl, combine 3/4 cup of dark chocolate peanut butter spread, 1/4 cup of butter, and 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips.
Microwave the ingredients on high for 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. This should take around 2-2.5 minutes total. Make sure to stir well to ensure even melting and smooth texture.

3. Combine with Cereal:
Add the 9 cups of Rice Chex Cereal to the molten chocolate mixture. Gently stir using a spatula until all cereal pieces are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.

4. Coat with Sugar:
Once the cereal is thoroughly coated, transfer half of it into a large resealable plastic bag.
Add 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar to the bag. Seal the bag, and then shake vigorously until the cereal is fully covered with sugar.
Repeat the process for the second half of the chocolate-coated cereal.

5. Add a Touch of Cinnamon:
Reopen the bag(s) and sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of cinnamon sugar. Seal again and shake one last time to distribute the cinnamon sugar evenly over all the coated cereal.

6. Cool & Serve:
Spread the coated cereal mixture onto a lined baking sheet to cool. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes or until the chocolate firms up.
Once cooled, serve immediately or store in airtight containers for later snacking.
