This snack mix is a total crowd pleaser during the cooler months. Combining salty pretzels with sweet chocolate and peanut butter creates the perfect balance that keeps everyone coming back for another handful.

It is so easy to put together for a movie night or a fall party. My best tip is to make sure your chocolate mixture is completely melted and smooth before you toss it with the cereal so everything gets an even coating.

Ingredients

  • 9 cups corn or rice square cereal
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup small pretzel twists
  • 1 cup fall colored M&Ms
  • 1 cup Reese's Pieces

Instructions

  1. 1

    Measure the cereal into a very large bowl and set it aside.

  2. 2

    In a microwave safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter.

  3. 3

    Microwave the mixture in thirty second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and melted.

  4. 4

    Stir the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture.

  5. 5

    Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal and stir gently until every piece is well coated.

  6. 6

    Pour the powdered sugar into a large sealable plastic bag and add the coated cereal.

  7. 7

    Seal the bag and shake it well until all the cereal is covered in sugar.

  8. 8

    Spread the mixture out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool completely.

  9. 9

    Once cooled, stir in the pretzels, fall M&Ms, and Reese's Pieces before serving.

💡 Tips

Store these in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. If you are taking them to a party, serve them in a large bowl with a scoop so guests can easily grab a portion.
