Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (12 ounces / 340 grams) box rice Chex cereal (about 10 cups)
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanut butter
- ½ cup salted butter
Binding/Flavor Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar (more as needed)
Seasoning:
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate foundation by combining chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in brief intervals and stirring until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Incorporate vanilla extract and salt into the molten chocolate mixture, ensuring complete integration of flavors.
- Gently cascade the warm chocolate blend over Chex cereal, employing a delicate folding technique to enrobe each morsel without fragmenting the delicate cereal pieces.
- Transfer the chocolate-drenched cereal into a generously sized resealable plastic bag, creating a controlled environment for sugar coating.
- Introduce powdered sugar into the bag, sealing securely and executing a measured, gentle shaking motion to distribute the sugar evenly across the chocolate-glazed cereal.
- For optimal texture variation, consider processing the mixture in controlled batches to prevent excessive compression or breakdown of the cereal clusters.
- Carefully disperse the sugar-dusted mixture onto a parchment-lined surface, allowing complete cooling and crystallization of the chocolate coating.
- Maximize crunchiness and structural integrity by storing the finished treat in the freezer, which helps maintain the distinctive clustered texture and prevents premature softening.
Notes
- Customize the chocolate coating by mixing dark, milk, or white chocolate for unique flavor profiles.
- Break cereal pieces gently to maintain larger clusters, ensuring a satisfying crunch in every bite.
- Reduce sugar content by using powdered monk fruit sweetener for a low-carb friendly version.
- Prevent chocolate from seizing by melting ingredients at low heat and stirring consistently to maintain smooth texture.
