Ingredients
Chocolate Peanut Butter Mixture
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Snack Mix
- 9 cups Chex cereal
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup M&Ms
- Sprinkles of your choice
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate mixture: In a microwavable bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, butter, and milk chocolate chips. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fully melted. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Coat the cereal: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the Chex cereal in a large bowl with a cover. Secure the lid and shake the bowl vigorously until the cereal is evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
- Add powdered sugar: Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the coated cereal. Cover the bowl again and shake until the powdered sugar is distributed evenly, creating a sweet, powdery coating on the cereal.
- Mix in candies and sprinkles: Add the M&Ms and your choice of sprinkles to the coated cereal. Gently stir or shake the bowl to incorporate them evenly throughout the snack mix.
- Serve or store: Transfer the Cupid Chow to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately as a festive snack.
Notes
- Use peanut butter that is smooth for easier melting and coating.
- Adjust the amount of powdered sugar for a lighter or thicker coating depending on your preference.
- Store the candy mix in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crispness for up to one week.
- Feel free to customize with different types of chocolate chips or candies.
