- Stir with a spatula and heat in the microwave in 30 second increments if mixture is not already smooth.
- Pour Chex into a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle melted cookie butter mixture over the Chex and stir until all the Chex are coated evenly.
- Add powdered sugar to a large ziplock bag.
- Transfer Chex into the bag, seal and shake, coating all Chex in the sugar.
- Transfer to a bowl and drizzle with more melted cookie butter and top with mini marshmallows.
- ENJOY!!
