Ingredients
4 cups mixed unsweetened cereal, such as Cheerios, corn flakes and Chex
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 unsweetened cocoa powder
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 cup dried tart cherries
1 cup shelled salted pistachios
Directions
- Put the cereal in a large bowl. Combine the sugar and cocoa powder in a large resealable plastic bag.
- Combine the chocolate and butter in a small bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally, until melted.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal and toss to coat thoroughly. Transfer the cereal to the plastic bag and shake well to coat in the sugar-cocoa mixture. Pour the cereal into a clean bowl and stir in the cherries and pistachios.
