Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Add the cereal to a large mixing bowl.  Set aside.
  2. Add the peanut butter, chocolate chips, pumpkin spice and coconut oil to a small saucepan and melt on low heat.  Stir until everything is well blended and smooth.  Adjust the pumpkin spice to your preference.
  3. Remove the peanut butter mixture from the stove top and pour over the cereal pieces in the large mixing bowl.
  4. Gently stir everything together until the cereal pieces are covered with the peanut butter mixture and is evenly distributed.  Depending on the size of cereal pieces you use, you may need to add a little more cereal.  You don't want the cereal pieces to be overly coated with the peanut butter mixture, so add an extra 1/4 cup at a time, if needed, until they are thinly coated.
  5. Transfer the coated cereal pieces to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread them out evenly so they aren't touching each other.
  6. After the peanut butter mixture has cooled completely, sprinkle 1/2 the powdered sugar on them.  This will help to keep them from sticking together in the next step.
  7. Transfer the cereal pieces back to the large mixing bowl and sprinkle the remaining half of the powdered sugar on them, then gently toss until the powdered sugar is evenly distributed.  Feel free to use more powdered sugar if you want a thicker powered sugar coating.
  8. Store in an air-tight BPA-free container in the refrigerator in an air-tight container until ready to serve.
  9. Enjoy!
