Start by gathering all your ingredients. Measure out the creamy peanut butter, corn syrup, vanilla extract, Corn Chex, cocoa powder, and any sweeteners or salt you plan to use.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 1/2 cup light-colored corn syrup. Mix thoroughly until the two ingredients are well blended.
Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the peanut butter and corn syrup mixture, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
Gently fold in 3 cups Corn Chex into the peanut butter mixture. Be careful not to break the cereal pieces as you mix them together.
Sprinkle in about 1/4 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder and mix until the Corn Chex are coated. Taste the mixture and adjust the cocoa powder to your liking.
If desired, add a pinch or packet of zero-calorie sweetener like Truvia or Splenda for extra sweetness.
Add a pinch of Kosher or sea salt if you like that salty-sweet combo. Mix everything one last time.
For best results, chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Once set, break it into clusters and enjoy your Skinny 100-Calorie Chocolate Peanut Butter Snack Mix.
