Ingredients

  • 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped up chocolate bar
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • ½ cup nut butter*
  • 8 cups Chex cereal**
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • In a large sauce pan over low heat, warm the chocolate with the coconut oil until melted.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the nut butter.
  • Next add in the Chex cereal and carefully stir the cereal into the melted chocolate/nut butter mixture until all the cereal has been coated.
  • Place the powdered sugar into a large zip lock bag. Place the chocolate coated Chex cereal into the bag with the powdered sugar, seal the bag and shake everything until the Chex cereal has all been coated with the sugar.
  • Enjoy!
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container or zip lock bag on the counter for up to a week!

Notes

*To make this recipe extra delicious, use a special, flavored nut butter. For example, I used Jem Organics Salted Caramel Cashew Almond Butter! Some other amazing nut butter brands I love are Georgia Grinders, Justin's and Abby's Better!
**You can really use whatever kind of Chex cereal you like, such as rice, wheat or corn Chex.
