Cheese, seafood, and puppy chow &#8211; and he&#8217;s a happy guy. One of the things I like about this recipe is that it can easily be changed to match the season, holiday, or really any theme you&#8217;re going for. As long as you have the colored M&amp;Ms to match. Besides the M&amp;Ms, there are four simple ingredients, and it comes together quickly.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Materials needed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>One gallon-sized Ziploc bag<\/li><li>Measuring cups<\/li><li>Microwaveable bowl<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Creamy peanut butter &#8211; have not yet tried it with natural peanut butter, but it should turn out the same<\/li><li>Chocolate chips &#8211; semisweet and milk chocolate work well<\/li><li>Powdered sugar<\/li><li>Chex cereal<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To Make:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by adding the peanut butter and chocolate chips to a microwaveable bowl. Microwave at 30 second intervals. This is usually ready after 1 minute. Stir together until mixed well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/awholelotofbunches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220409_142048.jpg?resize=224%2C298&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-195\" width=\"224\" height=\"298\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Add the Chex cereal to the Ziploc bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pour one half of the peanut butter\/chocolate mixture into the bag, seal, and shake well. Then add the rest of the mixture, seal the bag, and mix well again. You&#8217;ll want to make sure you coat the cereal at the bottom of the bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add the two cups of powdered sugar to the bag. You can also split this up in 1 cup increments and shaking in between. Seal the bag and shake well until all cereal is coated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, add the M&amp;Ms to the bag and shake up until mixed throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/awholelotofbunches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220409_143018.jpg?resize=234%2C312&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-197\" width=\"234\" height=\"312\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Hope you enjoy this recipe.
