Ingredients
- 6 cups Chex cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup Valentine-themed sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: Gently melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second bursts, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted.
- Coat the Cereal: Place 6 cups of Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal and gently stir until every piece is evenly coated with chocolate.
- Add Powdered Sugar: Sprinkle 1/2 cup of powdered sugar over the chocolate-coated cereal. Toss gently to distribute the sugar thoroughly, creating a light, sweet coating on each piece.
- Add Sprinkles: Finally, sprinkle 1/4 cup of Valentine-themed sprinkles over the mixture and toss lightly just to combine and add a festive touch.
- Let Set: Spread the mixture out on a parchment-lined baking sheet to allow the chocolate to set and harden, approximately 20-30 minutes at room temperature before serving.
Notes
- Use semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips depending on your sweetness preference.
- For a firmer coating, refrigerate the mixture after spreading it out to set.
- Feel free to customize sprinkles with your favorite Valentine’s colors or heart shapes.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain crispness.
