Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 1 (12 ounce) box crispy rice cereal squares (such as Rice Chex®)

  • 1 ⅓ cups semisweet chocolate chips

  • ½ cup peanut butter

  • 1 (18.4 ounce) package brownie mix

  • 1 cup candy-coated chocolate-covered peanuts

  • 2 cups mini pretzel twists

Directions

  1. Pour cereal squares into a large bowl.

  2. Combine chocolate chips and peanut butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth, about 1 1/2 minutes. Pour over cereal squares and stir until well coated.

  3. Place brownie mix in a container with a tight fitting lid, or in a large zip-top bag. Add 1/2 of the coated cereal in 2 batches and shake to coat. Spread on a sheet of waxed or parchment paper. Discard any leftover brownie mix.

  4. Let cereal sit until cool and dry, 30 to 45 minutes.

  5. Transfer cereal to a large bowl. Add pretzels and chocolate-coated candies and toss to combine.
