    • Seal the bag and shake until the cereal is well coated with sugar.

Notes

  • For an extra crunch, add 1/2 cup of roasted nuts such as almonds or peanuts.

  • For a festive touch, use holiday-themed chocolate candies.
  • If you prefer less sweet, reduce the amount of powdered sugar by half.
