Steps:
- Add the peanut butter and chocolate chips to a small pot
- Heat on low-medium, stirring continuously for about 3 minutes or until completely melted and smooth
- In a large bowl, add the Chex cereal. Pour the melted peanut butter chocolate mixture all over the Chex cereal
- Stir with a spoon until the cereal is completely covered in chocolate (see above pictures for reference)
- To coat with powdered sugar, you can do one of two things: 1) Either transfer the chocolate covered cereal to a large plastic bag, add the powdered sugar, close the bag tight and shake until all the cereal is coated well with powdered sugar. 2) OR, you can use a large bowl with a fitted lid (which is what I did). Add the powdered sugar to the bowl with the cereal, cover with the lid and shake the bowl all around until cereal is completely coated
- Lastly, add the red and green M&Ms and stir with a spoon until mixed in well (you can add any other toppings you like at this point as well)
- Store in an airtight container or Ziploc bag at room temperature
