- In a large bowl, measure out 9 cups of Rice Chex cereal (or a mix of Rice and Corn Chex). Set aside.

Coat the Chex cereal:
- Pour the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the Chex cereal. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon to coat the cereal evenly. Be careful not to break the cereal.
