Description
A crunchy, sweet snack mix combining Chex cereal, chocolate, peanut butter, crushed Butterfinger candy, and powdered sugar.
Ingredients
- 10 cups rice Chex cereal
- 1½ cups milk chocolate, chopped
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1½ cups creamy peanut butter
- 2½ cups Butterfingers, crushed
- 3½ cups powdered sugar (sifted)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Place the 10 cups of rice Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- Melting the Chocolate: In a saucepan over low heat, melt together 1½ cups chopped milk chocolate and ¼ cup unsalted butter, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Add Peanut Butter: Stir in 1½ cups creamy peanut butter into the melted chocolate–butter mixture until fully combined and silky.
- Coating the Cereal: Pour the warm chocolate–peanut butter mixture over the cereal in the bowl. Gently fold to coat all pieces evenly without crushing the cereal.
- Add Butterfingers: Sprinkle 2½ cups of crushed Butterfinger candy over the coated cereal and stir to distribute evenly.
- Final Dusting: Transfer the coated cereal mixture into a large sealable bag or container. Add 3½ cups of sifted powdered sugar. Seal and shake until the cereal is well coated with the sugar.
- Cool and Serve: Spread the mixture on parchment‑lined trays to cool and allow the chocolate coating to set. Once cooled, serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Use high‑quality chocolate for smoother melt and better flavor.
- Stir constantly when melting to prevent burning.
- Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly before pouring over cereal to avoid sogginess.
- Crush Butterfinger candy into small, uniformly sized pieces for better incorporation.
- Sift powdered sugar before coating to avoid clumps.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- For longer storage, freeze in a freezer‑safe bag (remove air) for up to three months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
