GF Brownie Chex Mix
Ingredients
- 9 cups rice squares cereal (or a combination of rice and corn cereal works too)
- 2 cups (12 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 10 oz (half of the box) dry Better Batter Brownie Mix
- 4 cups small gluten-free pretzel twists, such as Snyder's of Hanover brand
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate candies
- 2-3 cups Powdered Sugar
Instructions
Do a little food prep. Measure out the cereal and pout into a large bowl.
Spread the dry brownie mix and powdered sugar on two separate cookie sheets. Alternatively, add the brownie mix and powdered sugar to two separate gallon-sized zip top bags (much easier clean up!).
Melt the chocolate. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter and heat in 30 second intervals, stirring well in between, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Drizzle the chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently stir with a spatula until the cereal is evenly coated. Coat the cereal.
Divide the chocolate covered cereal in half, spooning one portion into the dry brownie mix and the second portion in the powdered sugar. Securely close the bags, if using. Gently toss the cereal in the coatings until evenly coated. Gently break apart clumps as needed. Let cool completely.
Final Assembly. Combine the brownie and powdered sugar-coated cereals in a large airtight container, add in the gluten-free pretzels and chocolate candies then serve.
Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days at room temperature, if it lasts that long.
