Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 9 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp butter unsalted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp almond extract
  • 1.5 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup rainbow sprinkles

Equipment

  • 1 microwave
  • 1 baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Measure the Rice Chex into a very large mixing bowl.
  2. Combine the white chocolate chips and butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
  3. Microwave at 50% power in 30-second bursts, stirring between bursts, until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Stir the vanilla and almond extracts into the melted chocolate.
  5. Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal.
  6. Fold gently until the cereal is evenly coated.
  7. Combine the powdered sugar, granulated sugar, and sprinkles in an extra-large resealable bag.
  8. Add the coated cereal to the bag.
  9. Seal the bag and shake gently until evenly coated.
  10. Spread the cereal on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  11. Let it stand at room temperature for 20 minutes, until the coating is set.

Notes

For an even coating, fold the cereal gently before shaking the bag. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days; freezer-friendly for up to 2 months. For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free white chocolate chips and plant-based butter.
