Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 box (12 oz) Chex cereal
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- Christmas candies (for topping)

Instructions
- In a small bowl, microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter in a microwave-safe bowl in increments of 30 seconds until chocolate is smooth. be careful not to burn your chocolate. If you cook it too long it will have a bitter taste and you will want to start over.
- Add in vanilla and stir until combined.
- In a large bowl with a lid or a plastic bag, pour mixture on top of cereal. Stir or shake until all the cereal is coated evenly. It helps to mix half the chocolate at a time.
- Top with Christmas candies, sprinkles, m&ms, or candy of your choosing.

Notes
- This recipe makes about 10 cups of Christmas Chex mix.
- Microwave heating times will vary. Start with 30 seconds and add time in 30 second intervals until chocolate mixture is smooth. Chocolate can burn very easily so I do not recommend microwaving for greater than 30 seconds at a time. Usually 1 minute in total is enough.
- When mixing, it helps to mix half the chocolate at a time to get a better coating.
- For best results store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
