Rice Krispy treats are one of the best desserts of all time. Recently I had the honor of making a batch for a co-worker’s birthday and they got me thinking. There’s so much more you could do with that marshmallow-y goodness.

I decided to experiment the other day as I was making Christmas treats for my neighbors.

You know I love salty and sweet, so that’s exactly what I went for.

Chex, pretzels, M&Ms and marshmallows = one fabulous salty, sweet treat.

Gooey Chocolate Pretzel Chex

Ingredients

2 cups rice Chex

2 cups corn Chex

3 cups mini pretzels

1 tbsp butter

3 cups marshmallows

1/2 cup M&Ms

In a large bowl combine chex and pretzels.

In another large bowl melt butter in microwave. Once butter is melted, stir in marshmallows. Melt marshmallow mixture in microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds, stirring after 45 seconds.

Pour chex and pretzels into melted marshmallows, stirring until evenly coated.

Transfer chex mix to a silpat or wax paper. Sprinkle M&Ms over top and let cool. Once cooled, break into pieces and enjoy.

This stuff is seriously addicting and way too easy to make!
