You won’t be able to get enough of this candy-coated Reese’s snack mix. This sweet Chex mix recipe combines pretzels, mini peanut butter cups, Reese’s Pieces and chocolate chips with a buttery-sweet cereal and pretzel mix.

Is there any better flavor combo than peanut butter and chocolate? Then add some salty crunch to it and you’re darn close to a superfood. Or at least a super snack.

This Reese’s Chex Snack Mix definitely earns high marks. It combines peanut butter Chex cereal with chocolate chips, pretzel twists, Reese’s Pieces candy and miniature Reese’s peanut butter cups.

The cereal and pretzels are coated in a mixture of butter, brown sugar and vanilla and baked in the oven. As the mixture cools, the sugar hardens to create a delicous candy coating. Finally, peanut butter cups, chocolate chips and peanut butter candies are added to finish the Reese’s Chex Mix recipe.

How to Make Reese’s Snack Mix

2. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla to a large bowl. If all you have is unsalted butter, make sure to add a pinch of salt as well.
3. Whisk to combine and then add the Chex cereal and pretzel twists. Toss to combine.
4. Transfer the mixture to the parchment lined baking sheet and spread it into a single layer.
5. Bake for a total of 20 minutes, stirring midway through.
6. Remove from the oven and allow the mix to cool on the pan. When it has reached room temperature, break the snack mix into bite-size pieces. Add the Reese’s Pieces, chocolate chips, and Reese’s Cups and toss to combine.
