Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 9 cups Rice Chex cereal (or Corn Chex if that is what you have)
- 1 cup Chocolate chips (semi-sweet is usual)
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter Use creamy for smooth coating
- 1/2 cup Butter Melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Powdered sugar Extra recommended for coating
- 4 fun size bars Butterfinger candy Crushed
- a pinch Salt If your peanut butter is unsalted
Instructions
Preparation
- Pour your cereal into a really big bowl.
- In a microwave safe bowl, add chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in short bursts and stir each time until smooth.
- Stir in vanilla and immediately pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal. Gently fold until most pieces are coated.
- Transfer the coated cereal to a zip-top bag or a container with a tight lid. Add powdered sugar, seal, and shake until coated.
- Spread it out on parchment or a baking sheet to cool. While slightly tacky, sprinkle on crushed Butterfinger and lightly toss.
