Ingredients
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1/3 cup caramel sauce
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 cups Chex cereal
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup toasted shredded coconut
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (for drizzle)
1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
1. Measure 6 cups of Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. In a saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup dark chocolate chips, 1/3 cup caramel sauce, and 2 tablespoons butter, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
3. Pour the chocolate-caramel mixture over the cereal and gently fold until fully coated.
4. Add 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar to a large zip-top bag, then add coated cereal. Seal and shake to coat.
5. Spread the mixture on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle 1 cup toasted shredded coconut evenly on top.
6. Melt 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips and drizzle over the cereal mix.
7. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt, let set 15 minutes, then break into chunks and store.
Notes
Toast your coconut beforehand for that authentic Samoas flavor.
Use a gentle hand when stirring to avoid breaking the cereal.
Let the final drizzle cool completely before storing to prevent sticking.
