Of these three healthy chocolate treats, this one is pretty addictive, so be sure to measure out a portion and put the rest out of sight!

1 cup Chex cereal (variety, your choice)

1 cup bite-size pretzels

1/2 cup roasted peanuts (salted, optional)

1 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted

Toss cereal, pretzels and peanuts with warm chocolate to evenly coat. Turn onto a parchment- or waxed-lined small baking sheet and spread in a more or less single layer. Refrigerate until set, about 10 minutes. Serve!
