Ingredients

9 cups Rice Chex
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup salted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups mini pretzels slightly crushed
1 1/2 cups candy corn
1 1/2 cups Oreos slightly chopped
1 cup Reese's Pieces
3/4 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup brownie mix

Instructions

Pour the Chex cereal into a large bowl and set it aside.
9 cups Rice Chex
In a microwave-proof bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave for 30-90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate chips are completely melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla.
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup salted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla
Pour the chocolate mixture over the Chex cereal and gently stir to coat, trying not to crush the cereal. Divide between two gallon-size Ziploc bags and pour the powdered sugar into one and the brownie mix into the other, then seal and shake to evenly coat all of the cereal.
3/4 cup powdered sugar, 3/4 cup brownie mix
Spread the cereal out on parchment paper to let the chocolate firm up a bit, for about 20 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the chocolate coated cereal with the pretzel pieces, candy corn, Oreo pieces, and Reese's pieces. Store in an air-tight container.
1 1/2 cups mini pretzels, 1 1/2 cups candy corn, 1 1/2 cups Oreos, 1 cup Reese's Pieces
