Whatever you call these peanut buttery, chocolatety, powdered sugary drops of heaven, we hope you try the recipe and enjoy! Use Rice Chex cereal, or any flavor, or peanut butter filled pretzels, they are so good!
Servings: 8
Equipment
- gallon sized zip top bag
Ingredients
- 2 cups chocolate chips* semi-sweet or bittersweet, or a blend of both
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 7 cups Rice Chex cereal + peanut butter filled pretzels if desired
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar + more if needed
Instructions
- Using a microwave safe bowl, pour in the chocolate chips and add the creamy peanut butter and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Whisk in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Using a large mixing bowl, add in the Rice Chex cereal and the pretzels if using. Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the top and gently mix together using a rubber spatula. Refrigerate for about 5 minutes.
- Place half of the chocolate covered Rice Chex cereal mix into a gallon sized zip top bag (use 2 separate bags if needed) and add half of the powdered sugar over the top. Seal the bag, then shake it until all of the cereal is coated with powdered sugar. Repeat with the remaining chocolate covered cereal mixture.
- Enjoy right away or spread the mixture out onto a lined sheet baking pan to set, for about 15 to 20 minutes, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
*Personally I would not use milk chocolate, as I feel like that would make these too sweet
