This recipe is super easy and even great for your kids to help with.

You’ll need just a few ingredients including:

You’ll also need a microwave safe bowl, wax paper, cookie sheet and ziploc bags.

Your first step is to melt one of the candy melts. You’ll be melting one at a time and mixing the melted candy with the Chex mix. See the recipe below for details.

A tip on melting candy melts in the microwave…make sure to microwave in increments of 30 seconds and stir in between so you don’t burn the candy.

Then add the powdered sugar and the coordinating colored sugar sprinkles to a Ziploc bag. Then add the Chex cereal and coat with the powdered sugar.

Spread the coated Chex cereal on a piece of wax paper on a cookie sheet and let dry.

Repeat the steps with the rest of the candy. Once it’s all coated and dry, combine all into one large bowl.

Add candy corn, maybe some chopped up candy melts and of course you can even add some small pretzels if you’d like.
