Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons green decorating sugar
  • 2 tablespoons green nonpareils
  • 2 tablespoons green jimmies
  • 1-1/2 cups green candy-coated chocolate candies or candy-coated chocolate peanut candies
  • 3 tablespoons red heart candy sprinkles, if desired
  • 5 cups Rice Chex™ or Corn Chex™ cereal
  • 1 (11 oz) package white vanilla baking chips
  • 36 Bugles™ original corn snacks

Directions

<
  1. Line 2 large rimmed cookie sheets with waxed paper. Add cereal to large bowl.
  2. In small microwavable bowl, microwave 1 cup of the chips uncovered on Medium (50%) 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, stirring after 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. One at a time, dip pointed end of each corn snack into melted chips to coat top two-thirds of each, allowing excess to drip off. (If necessary, reheat mixture 5 seconds at a time as needed for dipping consistency.) Sprinkle coated snacks with red sugar. Place snacks on one of the cookie sheets in single layer; let stand about 20 minutes or until set.
  3. Add remaining chips to bowl with remaining melted chips; microwave uncovered on Medium (50%) 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, stirring after 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Add green sugar; stir well. Pour on top of cereal in bowl; stir well to coat evenly. Transfer to remaining cookie sheet, spreading mixture apart. Immediately sprinkle with green nonpareils and jimmies; let stand about 20 minutes or until set. Carefully break apart into bite-size pieces.
  4. In large serving bowl, mix coated cereal, corn snacks, chocolate candies and heart sprinkles.
