With everything going on during the holiday season – lots of extra shopping, visits from family, school parties and office luncheons, its great to have some quick and easy snack recipes on hand and I really love this festive Mexican Hot Chocolate Chex Mix recipe. We made a double batch and stored the leftovers in zipper style plastic bags so we could enjoy it for a few days.
The kids had a blast helping make this holiday Chex Mix and of course we all had to taste test it just to make sure it was as good as it looks. Each kid got to help with a step of the simple recipe and they all had a hard time trying to wait for the mix to cool so we could eat some.
- 2 Cups Vanilla Chex cereal
- 2 Cups Chocolate Chex cereal
- 2 Cups Cinnamon Chex cereal
- ¼ cup butter or margarine
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup flaked coconut (optional)
- 1½ cups mini marshmallows
- Measure cereal in a large microwaveable bowl. Set aside.
- Heat butter and chocolate chips in a two cup microwaveable measuring cup on high one minute or until almost melted; stir and microwave another 30 seconds or until mixture is smooth; stir in condensed milk, heat 30 seconds or until boiling; stir in cinnamon. Pour over cereal mixture, stirring until evenly coated.
- Microwave on high about 3 minutes, stirring every minute, until mixture is glazed. Stir in coconut and marshmallows. Pour onto waxed-paper lined pan to cool.
