Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 5 cups Chex cereal (rice or corn)
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup Valentine-themed sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
  2. Coat Cereal: Place the Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl and pour the melted chocolate over it. Gently stir with a spatula or spoon until all cereal pieces are evenly coated with chocolate.
  3. Toss in Powdered Sugar: Transfer the chocolate-coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag or a bowl with a lid. Add the powdered sugar and gently shake or toss until the cereal is evenly dusted.
  4. Add Sprinkles: Spread the cereal mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. While still slightly wet, sprinkle the Valentine-themed sprinkles evenly over the top.
  5. Let Set: Allow the mixture to cool and the chocolate to harden at room temperature or place it in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes. Once set, break apart any clumps and serve or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • The type of chocolate can be adjusted to milk, dark, or white chocolate based on preference.
  • Store the finished snack in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • For added flavor, you can stir in nuts or dried fruit before tossing with powdered sugar.
  • Ensure the chocolate is completely melted and smooth to coat the cereal evenly.
  • If you prefer a less sweet coating, you can reduce the powdered sugar amount.
