Ingredients

  • 1 (1 lb, 2 oz family-sized) box Rice Chex™ cereal
  • 2 cups red candy melts
  • 2 cups orange candy melts
  • 2 cups yellow candy melts
  • 2 cups green candy melts
  • 2 cups purple candy melts
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt flakes

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Open Chex™ cereal. Separate into 5 even parts, about 3 cups per serving. Spread parchment paper on 5 large baking sheets, or if you have the space, on kitchen counters and table for a lot of room to allow the coated mix to dry.
  • Step 
    2
    In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt red candy melts just until smooth. Add three cups of Chex™ to the bowl, stirring until the cereal is coated with the melted candy. Spread onto a piece of parchment paper and cool completely. Repeat for every color.
  • Step 
    3
    Once the Chex™ Mix is fully dried and hardened, break it up into smaller pieces. Arrange in a bowl by color, or mix it all together for a multicolored party mix. Enjoy!
