Sweet Chocolate Cereal Treat (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
One 12-ounce package of milk chocolate chips
02 -
9 cups of crispy rice cereal squares (like Chex)
03 -
2 cups of powdered hot cocoa mix (about 10 individual packets)
04 -
1 cup of tiny marshmallows
# Instructions:
01 -
Add your chocolate chips to a bowl that's safe for the microwave. Heat them up for 30 seconds, give it a good stir, then pop it back in for another 30 seconds. Keep repeating this process until everything melts into a smooth, silky chocolate.
02 -
Grab a big mixing bowl and dump in your cereal squares. Drizzle all that melted chocolate right over the top, then use a rubber spatula to gently fold everything together until each piece is nicely covered in chocolate.
03 -
Get out two large gallon-sized resealable bags and pour 1 cup of the hot cocoa powder into each one. Then split your chocolate-coated cereal evenly between both bags.
04 -
Seal up those bags (but leave some air inside so things can move around freely), then shake vigorously until every piece of cereal is dusted with that cocoa powder coating.
05 -
Spread everything out on baking sheets lined with parchment or wax paper and let it cool completely. Once it's at room temperature, toss in those mini marshmallows, mix them through, and you're ready to dig in!
# Notes:
01 -
When you're shaking the cereal with cocoa powder, make sure to leave plenty of air space in the bag - this helps everything tumble around and get evenly coated.
02 -
This snack mix keeps beautifully! Just store it in a sealed container or bag at room temperature, and it'll stay fresh and crunchy for up to two weeks.
