Ingredients
- 10 oz Ghirardelli white vanilla flavored melting wafers
- 5 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 7 drops green food gel neon green or bright green
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 2 boxes holiday red and green M&M's candies
- Red heart candy sprinkles
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment, place in powdered sugar, vanilla, and five drops green food coloring. Work on low 2 and move to a 4. You will need to scrape the sides and keep working with it till the powdered sugar is a light green and is crumbly. I usually start with 2 cups and work up to the 4 cups.
- In a microwave safe owl, add in vanilla melting wafers and melt as directed on the bag. Every microwave differs so we suggest bag directions.
- Mix in two drops food coloring along with the half cup of peanut butter. Mix well.
- Place chex mix into a large gallon zip lock bag. Pour in chocolate mixture. Close bag well and then move around until well coated.
- Add in powdered sugared mixture and move around until well coated.
- Add in candy heart sprinkles and holiday M&M's candies. Mix well and serve!
