Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 12

Ingredients

  • 8 Tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, sliced
  • 1 cup Nutella (about one 13 oz container)
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup dry roasted & salted peanuts
  • 1 (12.5 oz) box Honey Nut Corn Chex cereal (About 8 cups)
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar, or more depending on preference
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 3/4 cup Reeses pieces (one 8 oz package)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add the butter and nutella. Microwave for 15 second intervals. Stir in between each one until the butter is melted and combined.
  • Add the chex cereal and peanuts to the bowl. Fold into the chocolate with a rubber spatula until the chocolate nutella mixture evenly coats all of the cereal.
  • Add the powdered sugar to the bowl and toss gently with a rubber spatula or your hands until the powdered sugar evenly coats the cereal and peanuts.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes so the heat of the chocolate doesn't melt the marshmallows. Once cooled, toss in the marshmallows and Reese pieces.
  • Serve immediately! Or store in an airtight container.
