Ingredients

• 6 cups Rice or corn cereal squares (e.g., Chex)
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup Red-and-green holiday sprinkles
• 0.5 cup Mini red candy-coated chocolates (e.g., red M&Ms, for 'Rudolph noses')

Directions

Step 1

Place the rice or corn cereal squares in a large mixing bowl and set aside.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and unsalted butter.

Step 3

Microwave the mixture on high in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until fully melted and smooth (about 1-2 minutes total).

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal in the large bowl and gently toss with a spatula until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated.

Step 6

Add the powdered sugar to a gallon-sized zip-top bag.

Step 7

Transfer the chocolate-coated cereal to the bag of powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake vigorously until all the cereal pieces are well coated in powdered sugar.

Step 8

Transfer the coated cereal to a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper.

Step 9

Sprinkle the red-and-green holiday sprinkles and red candy-coated chocolates evenly over the mixture while it’s still slightly sticky.

Step 10

Let the Rudolph Chow cool completely and allow the chocolate to set, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 11

Once cooled, break into bite-sized clusters if necessary and serve or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
