The ingredients to make hot chocolate chex mix.

We are some serious chocolate lovers in this house. Hot chocolate is an extra special treat. We don’t have it very often, but when we do, dark, rich, and smooth is how we like it. There’s nothing like cozying up on the couch or in a big chair for a quiet moment with a warm cup of rich chocolate… until I discovered this snack mix.

It’s like hot chocolate with a crunch. You can eat it by the handfuls. It might just be the best chocolate snack I’ve ever had. The chocolate Chex offers one level of chocolate while the hot chocolate coated cereal provides another. Then there’s the cinnamon and the marshmallows… Just so much goodness!
