# Instructions:

Put your cereal in a big mixing bowl and keep it aside.
02 -
Mix white sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder in a small bowl. Set this mixture aside for later.

Put chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave it on high for 20 seconds, then stir. Keep heating in 20-second bursts, stirring each time, until smooth.
04 -
Right away, pour the warm chocolate over the cereal and stir gently to coat it completely.

Transfer the cereal into a big container or a resealable bag. Toss in the sprinkles, then close and shake it up until the sprinkles are mixed well.
06 -
Pour in the sugar-cocoa blend and shake again until it covers everything. Finally, throw in the powdered sugar and give it one last good shake until all the pieces are coated.

Spread the coated cereal onto a foil or parchment-lined baking sheet to cool. Toss any leftover powder. Keep it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days.

Rice Chex® or another crisp rice cereal works if you can't get Chocolate Chex®.
