Ingredients

6 cups chocolate rice or corn cereal squares

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 cup brownie mix (dry)

1/4 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

1 pinch sea salt (optional)

Instructions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and prepare a gallon-size zip-top bag or airtight container. Add the brownie mix, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder. Shake or stir to combine and set aside.

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.

3. Place the cereal squares in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the melted chocolate and gently fold until all pieces are coated.

4. Let the mixture cool for 1 minute, then transfer to the prepared bag or container. Shake until well-coated in the brownie sugar mixture.

5. Spread the mixture on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Cool for 15–20 minutes before serving or storing.

Notes

Use high-quality brownie mix for the richest flavor.

Don’t skip the cooling step before adding the dry sugar coating—it prevents clumping.

For a flavor twist, add peanut butter chips, peppermint bits, or a pinch of cinnamon.
