Servings: 8 servings
Cost: $7.21
Equipment
Ingredients
- 9 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter like Skippy
- 1 cup chocolate chips milk or semi-sweet, I like Guittard or Ghirardelli
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
Optional Additions
- 1 bag (12 ounces) holiday M&M’s can use peanut butter or peanut M&M’s for extra peanut butter!
- 2 cups Reese’s minis
Instructions
- Add the cereal to a large bowl and set aside.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter, chocolate chips, and butter. Microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring for 15 seconds in between, until melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla and salt.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently stir until every piece is coated. Add half the coated cereal to a gallon-size resealable bag with half the powdered sugar. Seal and shake until covered. Repeat with the remaining cereal and sugar.
- Spread the coated cereal into a large bowl and stir in the M&M’s and Reese’s Minis.
Notes
Storage: Store Reindeer Chow at room temperature in an airtight container. If you like it extra crisp, store it in the freezer and eat it straight from there (my fave!)
