This tasty treat starts with three types of chex cereal. Rice, chocolate and honey nut chex are mixed together in a bowl and set aside. A coating is made with a cooked mixture of brown sugar, butter and corn syrup. Then the cereal mixture is tossed with the coating and pecans. After spreading the mixture out to cool, melted chocolate is drizzled on top.
