Main Ingredients
- 7 cups Rice Chex Cereal, or store brand version
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup salted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 18 fun size Butterfinger candy bars, 15 crushed and 3 roughly chopped for garnish
- 1 ¼ cup powdered sugar, sifted
Instructions
- Prepare the Cereal: Add the Rice Chex cereal to an extra large bowl, ensuring there is enough space for mixing later.
- Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi sweet chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and salted butter. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir thoroughly until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Add Vanilla: Stir in the pure vanilla extract until well combined with the melted mixture.
- Coat Cereal: Drizzle the chocolate peanut butter mixture over the cereal in the large bowl. Gently stir to coat all the cereal pieces evenly without breaking them.
- Add Crushed Candy: Mix in the 15 crushed Butterfinger candy bars into the coated cereal, distributing them evenly.
- Coat with Powdered Sugar: To coat, you can either sprinkle the sifted powdered sugar over the cereal mixture and stir or place the mixture into a large ziplock bag and shake vigorously to evenly coat the cereal while keeping the powdered sugar contained.
- Dry and Garnish: Spread the coated cereal on a baking sheet to allow it to dry lightly. Right before serving, sprinkle with the 3 roughly chopped Butterfinger candy bars for extra texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute semi sweet chocolate chips with milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, or candy melts for different flavors.
- A mix of rice, corn, and wheat Chex cereals can be used for varied textures.
- Fun additions such as mini peanut butter cups, Reese’s Pieces, or Butterfinger balls can be included for added fun and flavor variations.
