Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 6 cups Chex cereal
  • 1 cup Butterfinger Bits or crushed Butterfinger bars
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • Pinch of kosher salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the Chex cereal and Butterfinger Bits. Set this mixture aside while you prepare the chocolate peanut butter coating.
  2. Melt Chocolate: Set up a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan filled with a few inches of simmering water. Add the semisweet chocolate chips to the bowl and stir occasionally until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Add Peanut Butter and Salt: Remove the bowl from heat and immediately stir in the creamy peanut butter and a pinch of kosher salt. Whisk the mixture until it is smooth and fully combined.
  4. Coat Cereal Mixture: Pour the warm chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the bowl with the Chex cereal and Butterfinger Bits. Toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the chocolate-peanut butter mixture.
  5. Add Powdered Sugar: Place the powdered sugar into a large freezer-safe plastic bag. Add the coated cereal mixture into the bag, seal it, and gently shake or toss to coat everything evenly with powdered sugar.
  6. Serve: Transfer the coated snack mix into a serving bowl or keep in the bag for easy snacking. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for later consumption.
