Ingredients

  • 6 cups Chex cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (we used mini)
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar 
  • ½ cup Andes mint chocolates, chopped
  • ½ cup Sno-Caps candy
  • ½ cup red and green mini marshmallows 

Instructions

  • Place the Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  • In a smaller, microwave safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Heat in the microwave in 20 second increments, stirring between each set until the chocolate is melted. Stir well. 
  • Pour the chocolate mixture over the Chex and very gently, stir until all the cereal is coated in chocolate. 
  • Sprinkle about ½ cup of powdered sugar over the top of the cereal then place the rest into a gallon sized zipper bag. Scoop the cereal into the bag, close and shake well. All the cereal should be coated in sugar. If there's any clumps, gently separate. 
  • Spread the coated cereal onto a baking sheet and allow it to cool and get crispy. Pour the Andes mints, Snow Caps and mini marshmallows over the top. Serve and enjoy. 

Notes

  • The cereal can be left to crisp for about 30 minutes. When finished, place into an airtight container and leave it on the counter for up to 5 days.
  • If the cereal is too sticky, add some more powdered sugar and shake to combine again.
  • We used half the chow for the board. This makes a lot of chow.
