This is the "Plex" mix I made for my son's Yo Gabba Gabba party. Since chocolate and peanut butter is one of my favorite food pairings, I was all for it. I thought it would be a popular snack for the youngsters, but it was equally popular with the adults. We now have a gigantic bag of m&m's that are missing all the yellow candies. Oh, what to do with them???
Chocolate Peanut Butter Chex Mix
adapted from Chex.com
4 c Rice Chex cereal
2 c Wheat Chex cereal
1 c vanilla baking chips
½ c semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 c peanut butter chips
1 c chocolate candies (like M&Ms)
2 c mini marshmallows
Line 2 cookie sheets with waxed paper. Pour half of the Rice Chex and half of the Wheat Chex into a large bowl and stir to combine. In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat vanilla chips in microwave until melted, about 1 minute. Stir chips to smooth. Pour vanilla chips over the cereal and stir to coat evenly. Spread the cereal onto one of the prepared cookie sheets. Melt semi-sweet chips the same was as the vanilla chips. Drizzle over the vanilla-coated cereal. Place cookie sheet in refrigerator and chill to set.
Repeat process with remaining cereal and the peanut butter chips. Spread peanut butter coated cereal onto the second prepared cookie sheet. Chill in refrigerator until set. Gently break the cereal into small chunks and place in a large, clean bowl. Add the chocolate candies and mini marshmallows and toss to combine.
Hey I making this for my daughters birthday party but I'm going to try everything minus the peanut butter chips and replace the m&m's with reeses pieces. I figured it will still have that peanut butter taste and there will be more yellows in the reeses pieces lol. Just thought I would share.
