Method
 

Instructions
  1. Place 3.5 cups of Chex cereal in a medium bowl and set aside.
  2. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the pink candy melts with 1 teaspoon of oil. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted.
  3. Pour the melted pink candy over the cereal. Gently stir to coat each piece evenly.
  4. Transfer the coated cereal to a large zip-top bag, add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and shake until all pieces are covered.
  5. Spread the coated cereal on a sheet lined with wax paper and let it sit.
  6. Repeat steps 1–5 using the red candy melts, remaining cereal, oil, and powdered sugar.
  7. Once both batches have cooled for about 30 minutes, combine them in a large bowl.
  8. Mix in the M&M’s and sprinkles just before serving or storing.
