Ingredients:

  • 9 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 1.5 cups Butterfinger candy bars, divided
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp flaky sea salt
  • 1.5 cups powdered sugar

Instructions:

  1. Chop 1.5 cups Butterfinger candy bars. Set aside 0.5 cups of the finest dust and keep the rest as chunks.
  2. Combine 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips, 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter, and 0.25 cup unsalted butter in a heat proof bowl.
  3. Melt the mixture over a saucepan of simmering water until glossy and completely fluid.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp pure vanilla extract and 0.5 tsp flaky sea salt.
  5. Measure 9 cups Rice Chex cereal into your largest bowl. Pour the warm chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently fold with a spatula until every square is dark and glistening.
  6. Allow the coated cereal to cool for exactly 5 minutes to create a tacky surface.
  7. Transfer half the cereal to a zip top bag with 0.75 cups powdered sugar and the reserved candy dust.
  8. Shake vigorously until the cereal looks like dusty gold nuggets. Repeat with the second half.
  9. Fold in the 1 cup of larger candy chunks.
  10. Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and let set for 20 minutes before serving.
