- Microwave the bowl for 30 seconds.
- Stir the mixture, then continue microwaving in 30-second increments until the chocolate is fully melted and everything is smooth.
- Put half of the Chex cereal (about 4.5 cups) into a large bowl.

- Fold the cereal gently with a spatula until each piece is evenly coated.
- Add 1 cup of powdered sugar to a gallon-size ziplock bag.
- Transfer the chocolate-coated cereal into the bag.
