How to Make This Fun Fall Chex™ Mix Snack
Before we get started, line a baking tray with parchment paper, get a big bowl and a top-sealing plastic bag.
- Place 1/3 cup of yellow candy melts in a microwave-safe container and melt per package instructions.
- Add 2 cups Chex™ cereal into a bowl and add the melted yellow candy. Stir until all cereal is coated.
- Place the sugar into a seal-top bag, add the yellow sugar sprinkles and the candy-coated cereal. Seal the bag and shake well. Lay it all out on a baking sheet to set.
- Repeat steps 1-3 for the candy corn – yes, melt the candy corn. ;)
- Repeat steps 1-3 for the white candy melts, however, only coat the candy-coated cereal with the powdered sugar (no color).
- Allow the Muddy Buddies to dry completely before combining. Add candy corn for garnish and serve.
This can be stored in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days.
