Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 9 cups rice cereal squares (like Chex)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup Halloween candy corn
  • 1/2 cup orange and black sprinkles
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate Mixture: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips, peanut butter, and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
  2. Add Vanilla: Stir the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture to enhance the flavor.
  3. Coat the Cereal: Pour the rice cereal squares into a large mixing bowl. Gently pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal and stir carefully until every piece is evenly coated with the chocolate-peanut butter blend.
  4. Add Powdered Sugar: Transfer the coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag tightly, and shake vigorously to evenly coat the cereal with the sugary powder.
  5. Mix in Halloween Treats: Spread the sugar-coated cereal in a single layer onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the Halloween candy corn, orange and black sprinkles, and mini marshmallows (if using) over the top for festive decoration and extra texture.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the snack mix to cool completely so the coating sets and pieces can be separated easily. Once cooled, break the mix into clusters and store in an airtight container for up to one week. Serve and enjoy your spooky, sweet treat!

Notes

  • Microwave times may vary, so heat the chocolate mixture carefully to avoid burning.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
  • Ensure the mix is fully cooled before storing to maintain crispiness.
  • Optional mini marshmallows add a chewy texture but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days.
