Ingredients

6 cups mini shreddies cereal
1/4 cup salted butter
12 ounces semi sweet chocolate bars or chips
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sprinkles
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1/2 cup candy corn
1 cup mellocreme pumpkins
1 cup pretzels
1 cup mini peanut butter cups

Instructions

Measure out the cereal and place it into a large bowl. Make sure the bowl is big enough to stir and toss when the time comes.
Next, add the chocolate, butter, and vanilla extract to a microwave-safe bowl. In increments of 30 seconds, and with the microwave on half power, melt the ingredients together. Be sure to stir well with a rubber spatula between every increment.
When the mixture is all melted, pour it over the cereal you have previously measured out into that large bowl. Using your spatula, stir the chocolate into the cereal until every piece of cereal is coated.
Next, add the sprinkles and stir once again to distribute.
Finally, add the confectioner’s sugar and toss to cover all of the cereal.
Spread this mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave it alone until the chocolate has firmed up and dried – about 2 hours.
Transfer the cereal to a large bag and add in all of the candy, chocolates, and pretzels. Gently shake to mix everything together.
Finally, pour the mixture into a serving bowl and serve.

Notes

One serving is equal to roughly 1/2 cup.
