You can also let the full pan of finished Chex mix sit in the fridge for 10 minutes after mixing in the almond bark. Then you can it break into clusters.

Notes

Recipe Tips.

Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl so there is plenty of room to coat everything evenly.
Melt the almond bark according to package directions so it stays smooth and easy to pour.
Stir gently after adding the almond bark so the cereal does not crush.
Spread the mix out on wax paper so it can set without sticking together too much.
Make-ahead tip: make the mix a few days before serving or gifting and store it in an airtight container once fully set.

Store. Store in an airtight container, or a ziploc bag at room temperature or in the fridge. It should last for 1-2 weeks if stored in an airtight container.

Freeze. Freeze for up to 3 months. Note that the ingredients may thaw softer than when it's freshly made, but the treat is still delicious to eat.
