Ingredients
  

  • 10 Cups Chex Cereal
  • 1 1/2 Cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1/2 Cup Peanut Butter
  • 1/4 Cup Butter
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla
  • 1 12oz Bag Mini Pretzel Balls
  • 1 13oz Bag Mini Candy Corn
  • 1 Lb Halloween Oreos Slightly Chopped
  • 1 1/2 Cup Reese's Pieces
  • Halloween Sprinkles Any Sprinkles Will Do
  • 3/4 Cup Powdered Sugar
  • 3/4 Cup Brownie Mix Your Choice of Brand

Instructions
 

  • Pour Chex cereal into a large bowl and set aside.
  • In a microwave-proof bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave for 30-120 seconds at a time, stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate chips are completely melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture over the Chex cereal and gently stir to coat, avoiding crushing the cereal.
  • Pour the powdered sugar into a gallon-sized Ziploc and the brownie mix into another gallon-sized Ziploc bag, and divide the chocolate-covered Chex cereal into the baggies. Seal the bags, leaving plenty of air inside.
  • Shake the baggies to coat the Chex cereal evenly.
  • Spread the cereal out on parchment paper to let the chocolate firm up a bit, for about 20 minutes in the freezer.
  • In a large bowl, combine the chocolate-coated cereal with pretzel balls, candy corn, Oreo pieces, Reese's Pieces, and Halloween sprinkles. Store in an airtight container.
