Melt ½ c. of one of the colors of candy melts in the microwave; heat for 25 seconds; stir; reheat until smooth.
Stir in ½ T. shortening; add 1 c.Chex cereal; stir to coat cereal completely.
Place one third of the powdered sugar (about 3 T.) in a ziplock bag; add candy-coated cereal. Close bag; shake for 1-2 minutes. The candy won't be completely sugar-coated since we want the color to stand out, so the pieces will stick together a bit. Space out on a cookie sheet to dry.
Repeat process with the remaining 2 colors of candy melts.
Let dry for at least 1 hour. DO NOT put this in the refrigerator, it will cause the candy to sweat when returned to room temperature.
Makes 3 c. for 6 servings.
