Butterfinger Puppy Chow: A no-bake treat combining Chex cereal with peanut butter, chocolate, and crushed Butterfinger candy for a crunchy
Ingredients
Scale
- 9 cups (270g) Chex cereal (rice or corn variety)
- 1 cup (175g) milk chocolate chips
- ½ cup (130g) creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup (57g) butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups (180g) powdered sugar
- 2 cups (12–14 fun-size bars) Butterfinger candy bars, crushed
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by measuring all ingredients and lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place Chex cereal in a very large mixing bowl.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth (about 1-1½ minutes total). Stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the Chex cereal. Using a flexible spatula, gently fold until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Transfer half of the chocolate-coated cereal to a large ziplock bag. Add half the powdered sugar, seal the bag (removing excess air), and shake gently until cereal is evenly coated. Repeat with remaining cereal and powdered sugar.
- Spread the sugar-coated mix onto the prepared baking sheet. While still slightly warm, sprinkle the crushed Butterfingers over the mixture and gently toss to incorporate.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely on the baking sheet for about 30 minutes, occasionally breaking up any larger clumps. Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container.
