Ingredients
  

The Cereal Base
  • 9 cups Rice Chex Cereal
  • 1 cup Green Candy Melts
  • 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
The Coating
  • 1.5 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Gold Sprinkles Or gold star quins

Method
 

  1. Measure the Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine green candy melts, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
  3. Pour the green chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently fold with a spatula until evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the coated cereal to a gallon-sized plastic bag containing the powdered sugar. Shake well until all pieces are covered.
  5. Spread the mixture onto parchment paper and immediately top with gold sprinkles while the chocolate is still setting.
  6. Allow to cool for 20 minutes before serving or storing in an airtight container.

Notes

Use a fine-mesh sifter to remove excess powdered sugar for a cleaner look. If you don't have green melts, use white chocolate and 2 drops of green oil-based food coloring.
