Instructions

  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
  3. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal mixture and stir until evenly coated.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and hot cocoa mix.
  5. Sprinkle the sugar-cocoa mixture over the coated cereal and toss to combine.
