  • Total Time: 30–35 minutes
  • Yield: 16–18 servings

Ingredients

12 cups (12.8 oz) toasted rice cereal

2 cups chocolate chips

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup unsalted butter

2 cups powdered sugar

2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1 medium-sized bag peanut butter M&M’s

1 bag pumpkin spice Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  2. Pour mixture over toasted rice cereal and gently stir until evenly coated.
  3. Place powdered sugar and pumpkin pie spice in a large resealable bag. Add coated cereal, seal, and shake until well coated.
  4. Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet to cool completely.
  5. Once cooled, mix in peanut butter M&M’s and pumpkin spice Hershey’s Kisses.
  6. Serve in a large bowl or portion into small bags for gifting.

Notes

Substitute almond or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.

Try white chocolate chips instead of regular chocolate for a sweeter twist.

Mix in pretzels, nuts, or dried cranberries for added texture.

Store at room temperature for best crunch, or refrigerate to extend shelf life.
