Description
A nostalgic, crunchy snack made with rice cereal, melted chocolate, peanut butter, and a generous coating of powdered sugar.
Ingredients
9 cups rice cereal squares (like Chex)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
Step 1: Measure 9 cups of rice cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
Step 2: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Heat on high for 1 minute, then stir. Continue heating in 30-second intervals until smooth.
Step 3: Stir the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture until well incorporated.
Step 4: Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal in the bowl. Stir gently with a spatula until all cereal pieces are evenly coated.
Step 5: Place the powdered sugar in a large 2-gallon plastic resealable bag. Add the chocolate-coated cereal to the bag.
Step 6: Seal the bag and shake well until every piece of cereal is covered in powdered sugar. Spread onto waxed paper to cool.
Notes
Ensure the cereal is fully cooled before storing in an airtight container to maintain maximum crunch.
