Instructions:

Melt the peanut butter and almond bark: In a large saucepan, melt the peanut butter and almond bark over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth and well-combined. This should take about 5 minutes.
Combine with Chex and peanuts: Once the peanut butter and almond bark are melted, remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the Chex cereal and peanuts to the mixture, stirring until they are evenly coated with the melted mixture.
Incorporate marshmallows: Gently fold in the colored miniature marshmallows until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Form clusters: Using a spoon, drop clusters of the mixture onto wax paper-lined baking sheets. It’s important to work quickly to prevent the marshmallows from melting too much.
Allow to set: Let the clusters sit at room temperature for 3-4 hours, or until they are completely set and firm to the touch.
Enjoy: Once set, your Chex “Cookies” are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as a sweet snack or dessert, and watch them disappear in no time.
