Servings: 14
Calories: 358kcal
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
- Add the cereal to an extra large bowl.
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter. Microwave on high for 1 minute, and stir well until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla until well combined.
- Drizzle the chocolate peanut butter mixture over the cereal. Gently stir to coat the cereal.
- Stir in the 15 crushed Butterfinger candy.
- For the powdered sugar step, you can sprinkle the powdered sugar over the coated cereal mixture and stir, or you can add the coated cereal to an extra large (2 gallon) ziplock bag and shake. (The ziplock bag is what I went with as it keeps the powdered sugar contained and makes cleaning up much easier)
- After the cereal is coated in the powdered sugar, spread out on a baking sheet to dry. Just before serving sprinkle in the 3 chopped fun size candy bars.
Notes
- Milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips or even candy melts can be substituted for the semi sweet chocolate chips.
- A combination of rice, corn and wheat chex can be used for different textures.
- Fun add-ins can be added, such as mini peanut butter cups, Reese’s pieces and Butterfinger balls.
