  • 2 11 Oz Bag White Baking Chips
  • 10 Cups Rice Chex
  • 2 Cups Powdered Sugar
  • 3 Cups Red, White, and Blue M and M's Candies You can also use Hot Tamale Candies, small Red Licorice, Pop rocks, or any red or blue candy.

Instructions

  1. Place 1 cup of powered sugar into each of two gallon sized ziplock bags.

  2. Melt Butter and White Baking Chips in a microwave safe bowl by cooking fro 15 seconds at a time. Stir between each cooking until the chips and butter are smooth and creamy. Do Not Over Cook. This step can also be done on a low heat on the stove, but is more successful in the microwave.

  3. Pour Rice or other Chex into the pan and gently fold until cereal is covered in the creamy mixture.

  4. Pour half of mixture into each of two Ziplock bags that contain the powered sugar. Seal bags and "fluff around" until all of the cereal is coated in powdered sugar.
