Chocolate Overload Mix

We’ll take any excuse to eat cereal straight out of the box, especially when that means covering it with a sweet chocolate coating. You can use any combination of cereal as long as it equals 8 cups. Next time, we might try Corn Fakes, Rice Chex and maybe a handful of Wheat Chex to cut the richness. Studded with white chocolate chips, this mix would make a fine afternoon pick-me-up on a workday. For a real treat, enjoy this mix with a glass of protein-packed whole milk and your favorite kiddos.
