Description
A toss-together snack that marries the crunch of Corn Chex, ribbons of chocolate-peanut butter, and warm pumpkin spice. Each bite pops with candy corn, pretzel twists, and roasted peanuts, dusted in snow-like powdered sugar.
Ingredients
- 2 cups corn chex cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup candy corn
- 1/2 cup mini pretzels
- 1/2 cup roasted peanuts
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Stir in vanilla extract, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until fully incorporated.
- Place corn chex cereal in a large mixing bowl and pour the chocolate mixture over it. Gently fold until cereal is evenly coated.
- Transfer coated cereal to a large resealable plastic bag, add powdered sugar, seal, and shake until the pieces are well dusted.
- Spread the coated cereal on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Once cooled, add candy corn, mini pretzels, and roasted peanuts to the bowl and toss to combine.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
- For extra crunch, stir in toasted pecans or crisped rice cereal.
- Adjust the amount of pumpkin pie spice according to your taste preferences.
- Make sure the chocolate mixture has cooled slightly before adding fragile candies.
