Ingredients
Scale
9 cups Rice Chex cereal
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup Halloween-themed sprinkles
Instructions
In a large bowl, measure out the Rice Chex cereal and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the Rice Chex cereal and gently stir until all pieces are coated.
Transfer the coated cereal to a large resealable plastic bag, add the powdered sugar, and shake until evenly coated.
Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet to cool, then sprinkle with Halloween-themed sprinkles.
Once cooled, store in snack bags or an airtight container.

For a nut-free version, substitute sunflower seed butter for peanut butter.
Feel free to customize the sprinkles based on your Halloween theme.
