▢ 7 cups Rice Chex cereal
▢ 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips high-quality
▢ ½ cup milk chocolate chips high-quality
▢ 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
▢ ¼ cup cocoa powder
▢ 1-1 ½ cups Golden Graham Cereal
▢ ½-¾ cup dehydrated marshmallows
▢ ¾ cup milk chocolate bars broken into chunks (about two 1.55-ounce Hershey’s bars)

Measure out Chex cereal in an extra-large mixing bowl. Set aside.
In another mixing bowl, stir together powdered sugar and cocoa powder; set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring well in between, until smooth and fully melted.
Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal. Gently fold with a spatula until evenly coated, being careful not to crush the cereal.
Pour the powdered sugar mixture over the chocolate-covered cereal. Gently fold with a spatula to coat, being careful not to crush the cereal.
Spread the coated cereal onto a baking sheet or parchment paper to cool and set, and gently break up any clusters.
Let cool and set for about 20-30 minutes.
Transfer cereal to a serving bowl and gently stir in Golden Grahams cereal, chocolate chunks, and marshmallows.
Store in an air-tight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Use high-quality chocolate chips. Better chocolate melts more smoothly and gives a richer, more even coating. Ghirardelli is my go-to for this recipe!
Melt chocolate low and slow. Microwave in 30-second intervals and stir well between each one to avoid scorching or seizing the chocolate.
Be gentle when folding. Rice Chex is delicate — use a soft spatula and fold slowly to keep those squares intact and avoid a bowl full of crumbles.
Let it set completely before adding mix-ins. Spread the coated cereal on a baking sheet and give it the full 20–30 minutes to cool before stirring in the Golden Grahams, chocolate chunks, and marshmallows. This is the key to avoiding clumps!
Adding Peanut Butter or Nut Butters: If you'd like to add peanut butter, melt 1/2 cup of peanut butter with 1 cup of chocolate chips. Either omit 1/2 cup of chocolate chips or add them in at the end with mix-ins.
