Servings: 9
Ingredients
- 12 ounce box Rice Chex Cereal , divided
- 12 ounce bag white chocolate chips , divided (Ghirardelli is preferred)
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar , divided
- Red food coloring
- Blue food coloring
Instructions
- Place half of the cereal into a large mixing bowl.
- In a microwaveable safe bowl, melt half the white chocolate chips on high for 45 seconds; stir. Continue to microwave in 15 second intervals, if necessary, until the chocolate is melted and can be stirred smooth.
- Stir in a few drops of red food dye; whisk vigorously until completely combined and smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate evenly over cereal, folding gently with a spatula until evenly coated. Separate any pieces that are stuck together. (If the mixture doesn't drizzle, just dollop it in sections, but make sure to do it before it sets.)
- Transfer to a gallon sized re-sealable food storage plastic bag. Add half the powdered sugar, seal bag and toss gently until all the cereal is well-coated.
- Repeat the entire process with the other half of ingredients, using the blue food dye this time.
- Place both mixtures in a large bowl and toss to combine.
- Try not to eat it all in one sitting! HA.
