How to Make Chex School Fuel

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine butter, corn syrup, and powdered sugar.
Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir.
Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until butter is completely melted and mixture is smooth.
Stir in baking soda until it's fully dissolved.
Add Chex cereal and any optional add-ins (nuts, M&Ms), stirring gently to coat evenly.
Microwave on high for 3 minutes, stirring every minute to prevent burning.
Immediately pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly.
Let cool completely for at least 10 minutes.
Once cooled, break the Chex mix into bite-sized pieces.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled Chex mix.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
