Ingredients

  • 1 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup salted butter
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 18 fun-size Butterfinger candy bars (chopped)
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Melt the Base: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and salted butter together in a microwave-safe bowl in short bursts, stirring until completely smooth.
  • Add Vanilla: Stir the pure vanilla extract right into the warm chocolate and peanut butter mixture.
  • Coat the Cereal: Pour that warm, glossy mixture right over the Rice Chex cereal in a large bowl. Gently toss everything until every single piece of cereal is completely coated.
  • Dust with Sugar: Transfer the coated cereal into a large zip-top bag with the powdered sugar. Seal it up and shake until the cereal is well dusted and white.
  • Add the Crunch: Gently fold in the chopped fun-size Butterfinger candy bars so they mix right in with the sugary clusters without breaking down too much.
  • Cool and Serve: Spread the mixture out on a baking sheet to cool completely, then dive right in.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days.
  • Tip: Melt the chocolate, butter, and peanut butter in 30-second increments in the microwave, stirring well in between to prevent burning.
