Ingredients
  

Cereal
  • 6 cups Rice Chex cereal Ensure the cereal is fresh for the best texture.
Chocolate
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips Microwave carefully to avoid seizing.
Flavoring
  • 1 tsp cherry extract Adds the cherry flavor to the chocolate mix.
Sweetener

  3. Pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the Rice Chex cereal and gently fold to coat evenly.
  4. Sprinkle 1 cup of powdered sugar over the coated cereal and toss gently to ensure every piece is coated.
  5. Spread the mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it cool for about 30 minutes.
  6. If using, add 1/2 cup of sprinkles and toss gently.
  7. Transfer to a serving bowl or package into individual bags for sharing.
