Recipe

Storage Ingredients:

2 (1-gallon size) resealable plastic food bags


Combine cereal and pretzels in 4-quart bowl; set aside.

Place butter, peanut butter and chocolate chips in medium
microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 45 seconds; stir.
Continue microwaving until butter and chocolate are melted
(15 to 45 seconds). Stir until smooth.

Immediately pour chocolate mixture over cereal in bowl; stir until well coated. Spread mixture evenly into single layer on two waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate 20 minutes
to set.

Break into bite-sized pieces; place half of mixture in each
plastic food bag. Pour 1/2 cup powdered sugar into each bag; seal bags. Shake bags until mixture is well coated. Place 1/2 cup candies in each bag. Seal bags; gently shake bags to distribute candies. Store mixture in sealed bags or airtight container in refrigerator up to 4 weeks.

TIP: Add more powdered sugar after storage, if needed.

resealable plastic freezer bags up to 2 months.
