This no-bake recipe combines crunchy cereal coated in a rich, creamy chocolate and peanut butter sauce, then dusted with cocoa powder and powdered sugar for an irresistibly sweet finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 6 cups Corn Pops cereal or similar cereal
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter (creamy)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the coating mixture: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to allow the snack mix to set later. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, chocolate chips, and vegetable oil.
  2. Heat the chocolate mixture: Microwave the mixture at half power for one minute, then stir thoroughly. Continue heating in 30-second increments at half power, stirring each time, until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, about 2-3 minutes total.
  3. Add honey and coat cereal: Stir the honey into the melted chocolate mixture. Add about two cups of the Corn Pops cereal to the bowl and stir gently but thoroughly, ensuring every piece is coated.
  4. Complete coating cereal: Gradually add the remaining cereal in two-cup increments, stirring after each addition until all the cereal is evenly covered in the chocolate-peanut butter mixture.
  5. Prepare cocoa and powdered sugar mix: In a large container or a gallon-sized zip-top freezer bag, combine the cocoa powder and powdered sugar. Mix them together thoroughly.
  6. Coat cereal with dry mixture: Add the chocolate-coated cereal into the container with cocoa powder and powdered sugar. Seal the container tightly and shake vigorously until all the cereal is fully coated with the dry mix.
  7. Set and serve: Pour the coated snack mix onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and spread out evenly. Let the mixture set for a few minutes to firm up, then enjoy the festive treat.

Notes

  • If you prefer a different nut butter, almond or cashew butter can be substituted, but may alter the flavor slightly.
  • Use gluten-free cereal if you need this recipe to be gluten free.
  • Store the snack mix in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunchiness.
  • This snack is perfect for holiday parties, gift bags, or a fun treat with kids.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and ensure the cereal is nut-free.
