Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 cups crispy Chex or crisp rice cereal
  • 3 Butterfinger candy bars, chopped into small pieces
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cereal Base: Pour your choice of Chex or crisp rice cereal into a large mixing bowl. Handle gently to keep the cereal pieces whole and crisp.
  2. Melt the Chocolate Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
  3. Combine Chocolate Mixture and Cereal: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal, stirring gently but thoroughly to coat every piece without breaking the cereal.
  4. Add Butterfinger Pieces: Fold chopped Butterfinger candy into the coated cereal mixture, adding the signature buttery crunch.
  5. Coat with Powdered Sugar: Transfer the mixture into a large ziplock bag or container, add powdered sugar, seal, and shake until all pieces are evenly coated.
  6. Cool and Serve: Spread the mixture on a baking sheet to cool and firm up for about 10 minutes. Once cooled, it’s ready to enjoy or package for later.

Notes

  • Use quality chocolate and peanut butter for richer flavor.
  • Heat chocolate mixture slowly and stir frequently to avoid seizing.
  • Chop Butterfinger candy finely for even distribution and to prevent clumps.
  • Allow the snack to cool completely before serving to keep the crunch intact.
  • Shake well in powdered sugar for an even and sweet coating.
