Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 3 cups Rice Chex cereal

Chocolate Layer

  • 4 oz milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Vanilla Layer

  • 4 oz white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Strawberry Layer

  • 4 oz white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon strawberry gelatin powder
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Divide the Cereal: Separate the 3 cups of Rice Chex cereal evenly into three large mixing bowls to prepare for each flavored coating.
  2. Prepare Chocolate Layer: Melt the milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in the microwave using short bursts, stirring until completely smooth. Pour the melted chocolate over one bowl of cereal and stir to coat every piece evenly. Transfer to a large zip-top bag and add 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Seal and shake well to coat. Set aside.
  3. Prepare Vanilla Layer: Melt 4 oz of white chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth. Pour over the second bowl of cereal and mix thoroughly to coat. Place the coated cereal in a new zip-top bag along with 1/2 cup powdered sugar, seal, and shake well. Set aside.
  4. Prepare Strawberry Layer: Melt 4 oz white chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in the microwave until smooth. Stir in 1 tablespoon strawberry gelatin powder until fully incorporated. Pour this mixture over the third bowl of cereal and stir to coat. Transfer to a zip-top bag, add 1/2 cup powdered sugar, seal, and shake vigorously. Set aside to cool.
  5. Combine and Serve: Once all three coated cereal batches have cooled and the coatings have set, combine them into one large serving bowl. Gently mix the layers together to create a Neapolitan-inspired colorful snack mix. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Use microwave-safe bowls and melt chocolate in short 20-30 second increments to prevent burning.
  • Ensure cereal is stirred well with the melted chocolate for even coating before adding powdered sugar.
  • The strawberry gelatin powder adds both flavor and color; substitute with strawberry Jell-O powder if needed.
  • Store the snack mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness.
  • For a crispier texture, allow coated cereal to cool completely on a baking sheet before combining.
