Written on 11/10/2025


Ingredients:

7 cups Rice Chex cereal (any brand)

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup salted butter

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

15 fun-size Butterfinger candy bars, crushed

Powdered sugar (use as much as you like)

Instructions:

Add the Rice Chex cereal to an extra-large mixing bowl.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and salted butter. Microwave in short intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.

Stir in the vanilla extract.

Pour the warm chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the cereal, gently tossing until all the pieces are coated.

Add the crushed Butterfinger bars and mix until evenly distributed.

For the powdered sugar:

Option 1: Sprinkle powdered sugar over the cereal mixture and stir until coated.

Option 2: Transfer the coated cereal to an extra-large zip-top bag, add powdered sugar, seal, and shake until well coated.

Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet to cool and dry.

Right before serving, you can sprinkle a bit more crushed Butterfinger on top, if desired.

Enjoy as a sweet snack or package it up for a fun homemade gift!
