Ingredients
Main
Spice Mixture
Instructions
Prep
- Pour the cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the confectioners sugar and the ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, melt the butter. Add the molasses and stir until combined. Set aside.
Cook
- Melt the white chocolate chips by setting a heat proof bowl over a pot with about 1 to 2 inches of simmering water on the stove top. Add the white chocolate chips to the bowl and stir with a non stick spatula until melted.
- Give the butter and molasses mixture a quick stir and pour over the cereal. Toss to combine.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal and mix with a spatula until the cereal is well coated and the chocolate is mostly evenly spread throughout. Some of the cereal may break, but that's ok!
- Transfer the chocolate coated cereal to a plastic zip storage bag. Add the spiced confectioner's sugar. Seal and shake well, about 10 to 15 seconds, until all the cereal pieces are completely coated in the sugar mixture.
- Transfer to a parchment lined sheet pan for about 10 minutes to let the white chocolate set before transferring to an air tight container for best results.
Notes
- Alternative methods can be used to melt the white chocolate chips (microwave, double boiler, etc.)
