REESE’S Creamy Peanut Butter? BROOKSIDE Dark Chocolate? Say less! Although some may say peanut butter and jelly go together, we all know PB and chocolate is a match made in heaven, and this snack mix proves that point!
Each perfect bite includes crisped rice cereal squares coated in creamy peanut butter goodness, dusted with powdered sugar, a touch of tang from the dried cranberries, all topped off with a punch of flavorful sweetness from your choice of BROOKSIDE Dark Chocolates.
