Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet or two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

- Place the remaining 4 cups Chex cereal in a large bowl. Pour the melted red candy mixture over the cereal and stir until evenly coated.
- Add the remaining 1 cup powdered sugar to the second gallon-size zip-top bag. Add the coated cereal, seal the bag, and shake until evenly coated. Spread onto the prepared baking sheet and allow it to cool completely.
- Once both batches have cooled, combine the red and blue puppy chow in a large serving bowl. Add 1½ cups red, white, and blue M&M's and gently toss to combine.
