# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
6 cups Chex cereal (or 4 cups Chex and 2 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch)
02 -
12 oz. white chocolate chips
03 -
3 teaspoons cinnamon, divided
04 -
1 cup powdered sugar
# Instructions:
01 -
Pour the cereal into a medium bowl. If using both Chex and Cinnamon Toast Crunch, mix them together in the bowl.
02 -
Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 25-second increments at 50% power, stirring well between each interval. Continue until most chips are melted, then stir until completely smooth. Be careful not to overheat. Once melted, stir in 1½ teaspoons of cinnamon.
03 -
Pour the melted cinnamon-white chocolate mixture over the cereal. Gently stir until all pieces are evenly coated. Make sure to fold from the bottom to get everything covered.
04 -
In a gallon-sized plastic bag, combine the powdered sugar and remaining 1½ teaspoons of cinnamon. Add the chocolate-coated cereal to the bag, seal it, and shake until all pieces are evenly coated with the powdered sugar mixture.
05 -
Transfer the coated cereal back to a bowl or spread it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow it to cool for about 15 minutes before serving so the chocolate can set.
# Notes:
01 -
Be careful not to overheat the white chocolate or it will become thick and seize, making it unusable.
02 -
This snack can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks.
03 -
For the best results, make sure all cereal pieces are well-coated with chocolate before adding the powdered sugar mixture.
