Okay, y'all. I have the snack that is the sparkle tits of all chocolatey snacks. Be warned...it's messy as hell. Also, I didn't realize that the recipe I had was for like a Duggar family of 37. I made it big, and at one point thought that I was going to need to bring out the gumbo pot. Make sure that you have adequate sized bowls before you start. What I used: 3 cups of Rice Chex 3 cups of Corn Chex 2 cups of Honey Nut Cheerios 1/4 cup of butter Close to 3/4 cup of peanut butter 1.5 cups of semi sweet chocolate chips Just over a cup of powdered sugar 2 big ol' tablespoons of cocoa powder 8 oz of M&M's. I bought two 8 oz packs, but just used one. Two would have been better. 2 cups of mini peanut butter cups Way too many pretzel sticks. The recipe called for 2 cups but I don't like them, so I threw in maybe half, and still had to pick them out. Okay. remember to have big enough bowls and properly functioning Ziploc bags handy. Mix all of the Chex and Cheerios together. In a small bowl add the butter, peanut butter, and chocolate chips, then stick it in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then just heat it until it starts to melt better. Here is where it gets dramatic. My "big" bowl was already filled to the brim, and now you need to pour the melted butter and chocolate over the Chex/Cheerios and make sure it's ALL coated. Okay whatever in my small ass bowl. You then put the cocoa powder and powdered sugar in a Ziploc bag and shake it until it looks like dirty cocaine. So NOW, you need to mix the napalmed cereal mix with the powdered mixture. It said to do this in a GALLON Ziploc bag. Lies. All lies. I crammed it all in there, and then THE BAG BUSTED!!! So I am yelling for Jared to come help, looking like I have the doo doo hand, and he said we could put another bowl on top and rock it that way. So now I have 23 dirty dishes, a doo doo hand, and I still have to add 5 (FIVE) more cups of ingredients. So yeah, I brought out the roasting pan. Once all of the cereal is coated with the melted mixture and the powdered mixture, mix all of the M&M's, peanut butter cups, and (gag) pretzels in a working Ziploc bag, then fold them in with the cereal. Stir carefully so the Chex doesn't crumble and the peanut butter cups don't break. I put mine in the fridge for an hour. We've been eating it from the fridge, but you don't have to chill it if you don't want to. Enjoy this completely non-staged picture.

I enjoy sports, binge watching TV, food, reading, and slightly bearded men.
