Instructions
1. Add 6 cups of Rice Chex cereal to a large mixing bowl and set aside.

3. Stir in 1 package of pistachio instant pudding mix until fully combined.
4. Pour the mixture over the Rice Chex and gently stir to coat evenly.

Do not overheat the chocolate or it will seize up. Stir frequently while melting.
Use a wide mixing bowl to coat the cereal gently without breaking it.
