Step by Step Instructions
Step 1. First, divide the Chex mix evenly into 2 large mixing bowls. Then crush 10 Oreo Cookies in a food processor until they are fine crumbs. Place the remaining Oreos in a ziplock bag or zip top bag and gently crush into large pieces.
Step 2. Get out a large gallon size bag and place half of the powdered sugar and half of the finely crushed Oreos into the bags.
Step 3. Melt the white chocolate chips and half of the vegetable oil in a microwave safe bowl. Continue to microwave in 20 second intervals until melted.
Step 4. Next, melt the milk chocolate chips.
Step 5. Coat one bowl of cereal in the melted white chocolate mixture. Stir until well coated.
Step 6. Then coat the other bowl of cereal in the melted milk chocolate.
Step 7. Dump them separately into the large ziploc bag. Seal tightly in the bag and shake in the powdered sugar mixture until the cereal is well coated.
Step 8. Finally, spread both types of coated cereal onto a cookie sheet. Gently stir the cereal mixtures and mix in the large pieces of Oreos. Allow to set and then serve.
Pro Tips
