Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 9 cups Chex cereal (rice or corn Chex work best)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (smooth texture coats best)
  • 1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 6–8 fun-size bars)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar Use less if you prefer less sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Coat the Cereal
  1. Measure the cereal into a large bowl and set aside.
  2. Place chocolate chips and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, stir, then continue in 15–30 second bursts until smooth. Stir well after each interval to prevent burning.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract immediately so the flavor disperses through the mixture.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate-peanut butter over the Chex cereal. Use a spatula to fold gently until every piece is lightly coated.
Add the Texture
  1. In a large resealable bag, combine the powdered sugar and the crushed Butterfinger pieces.
  2. Add the chocolate-coated cereal to the bag, seal, and shake until all pieces are evenly dusted with the powdered sugar-BF mix.
Shake and Set
  1. Spread the coated mix in a single layer on a baking sheet to cool and set for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Once cooled, transfer to a bowl and serve.
