Ingredients

  • 5 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter, chunked
  • 3 bars (4 oz each) white chocolate baking bars (NOT white chocolate chips)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Measure out 5 cups of Rice Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl (preferably one with a lid so you can shake everything in one bowl). Set aside.
    * If you do not have a bowl w/a lid, either use a spoon to stir OR shake/mix it up in a gallon sized Ziploc bag.
  • In a saucepan over medium low heat, combine the butter chunks, white chocolate (break into pieces, it comes "precut"), vanilla extract and almond extract. Heat until everything is melted and combined together.
  • Immediately pour the white chocolate mixture over the chex mix and stir with a wooden spoon until the cereal is coated. Add in the rainbow sprinkles and cover the bowl with a lid. Shake it up to coat the cereal in sprinkles!
  • Add in the powdered sugar and cover with lid again. Shake to coat the cereal in the powdered sugar.
  • Pour onto a cookie sheet (I line mine with parchment paper) and spread out. Let cool for 20-30 minutes. It can be eaten warm but the coating stays on better if you allow it to cool. Store in a Ziploc bag on the counter.

Notes

The white chocolate baking bars can be found above the chocolate chips in the baking aisle. DO NOT use white chocolate chips because it just won't work. Chips don't melt as well as the baking bar. 
 
If you do not have a bowl with a lid, either mix everything with a spoon for each step OR place the white chocolate coated cereal into a gallon size Ziploc bag and shake it in the bag. Either way works just fine!
