Ingredients

Rice Chex Cereal Mix:

  • 7 cups Rice Chex Cereal, or store brand version

Chocolate Peanut Butter Coating:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup salted butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Additional:

  • 18 fun size Butterfinger candy bars, 15 crushed and 3 roughly chopped for garnish
  • 1 ¼ cup powdered sugar, sifted

Instructions

  1. Add the Cereal: Place the cereal in an extra-large bowl.
  2. Prepare Chocolate Peanut Butter Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter for 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
  3. Coat the Cereal: Pour the chocolate peanut butter mixture over the cereal and gently stir to coat. Mix in the crushed Butterfinger candy bars.
  4. Add Powdered Sugar: Sprinkle powdered sugar over the coated cereal and stir, or transfer the mixture to a large ziplock bag and shake to coat evenly.
  5. Final Touches: Spread the coated cereal on a baking sheet to dry. Before serving, top with the chopped Butterfinger candy bars.

Notes

  • Milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, or candy melts can be used as alternatives.
  • Experiment with different Chex cereal varieties for varied textures.
  • Customize with additional mix-ins like mini peanut butter cups, Reese’s Pieces, or Butterfinger balls.
