Instructions
- Measure the Cereal: Measure out 8 cups of Chex mix cereal to ensure you have the perfect amount for the recipe.
- Place in Bowl: Transfer the Chex mix cereal into a large mixing bowl to prepare for coating.
- Melt White Chocolate: Melt 1 cup of white chocolate chips in the microwave by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
- Combine Chocolate and Cereal: Pour the melted white chocolate over the Chex mix cereal evenly so it coats the pieces well.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir the cereal and chocolate mixture thoroughly, making sure every piece is covered with the melted white chocolate.
- Cool the Mix: Allow the chocolate-coated Chex mix to cool completely at room temperature so the chocolate can harden.

- Coat with Powdered Sugar: Add the cooled, white chocolate-coated Chex mix into the bag with powdered sugar, then seal and shake well to ensure every piece is fully coated.

- Use good quality white chocolate chips for a smooth coating and rich flavor.
- Make sure the white chocolate is fully melted but not overheated to avoid burning.
- Allow the coated mix to cool completely before coating with powdered sugar to prevent clumping.
