Ingredients
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoon red liquid food coloring
- 2 teaspoons blue liquid food coloring
- 9 cups Chex cereal
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Divide the powdered sugar between 3 large plastic bags. Add 2 teaspoons of red food coloring to one back and 2 teaspoons of blue food coloring to another. Leave the last one white.
- Knead the powdered sugar with the food coloring until it is uniformly mixed. You can roll it with a rolling pin to break up clumps. This takes a while to get it to mix, so be patient. Alternately, place the mixture in a food processor and pulse until mixed.
- Measure the cereal and place in a very large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Over medium heat, melt and combine the butter, chocolate chips and peanut butter, stirring constantly.
- When fully melted, stir in vanilla.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over Chex cereal in 3 stages, folding as you go.
- Divide the coated mixture between the three bags of powdered sugar. Toss gently to coat all pieces.
- Remove to a wax paper lined rimmed baking sheet. Spread in a single layer and chill for an hour to set.
