  2. Stir in vanilla extract until combined.
  3. Add the Chex cereal to the bowl and gently fold until all pieces are evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the coated cereal to a large resealable plastic bag and add the powdered sugar.
  5. Seal the bag and shake well until all the cereal pieces are fully dusted.
  6. Spread the mixture onto parchment-lined baking sheets to cool and set for about 30 minutes.
  7. Optional: Sprinkle with heart-shaped sprinkles before the coating sets for extra festive flair.
