Ingredients
Scale
9 cups Rice Chex cereal
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup cherry-flavored candy melts
1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
1/2 cup maraschino cherries, chopped
Instructions
In a large bowl, measure out the Rice Chex cereal and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Heat in microwave at 30-second intervals until melted and smooth, stirring between each interval.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the Rice Chex and gently fold until evenly coated.
In a separate bag, add powdered sugar and the chocolate-covered cereal. Shake until well coated.
In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the cherry candy melts and drizzle over the coated cereal.
Sprinkle with crushed graham crackers and chopped maraschino cherries. Let cool and set before serving.
Notes
For a more intense cherry flavor, consider adding cherry extract.
