Upon looking around my kitchen, I realized I had the ingredients. Well, I had MY ingredients for them. White chocolate instead of chocolate chips, extra crunchy peanut butter instead of regular. The crunchy PB has little bits of peanuts so you get an extra little crunch with your chow. I was right about the kids loving it. So much so that I had to make some more! I thought I'd add it to the recipes since I haven't shared any new recipes lately.
Put the peanut butter, chocolate (I used almond bark), and butter in a 1 qt. sauce pan. Melt and blend them together over low heat, be sure to stir consistently so it doesn't scorch.
What you'll need:
9 cups of Chex
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (or butterscotch chips, or white chocolate, or whatever)
1/2 cup peanut butter (I used the crunchy kind for extra pea-nutty-ness!)
1/4 cup butter (or margarine, but let's be honest here... there is nothing better than BUTTER!)
1 teaspoon vanilla (I didn't add this and I didn't notice that it was gone)
1 & 1/2 cups powdered sugar (I only used about a cup)
How to make:
-In a 1 qt. sauce pan, add peanut butter, chocolate chips, and butter. Warm over low heat while stirring. Once it's all incorporated, add vanilla.
-Pour mixture over cereal and blend well.
-Add cereal mix to a large plastic bowl with top or to a large Ziploc bag. Add powdered sugar, seal, and shake well.
-Spread mixture out on some waxed paper to let it cool. Store in an air tight container.
The Chex website gives instructions for using the microwave to melt your chocolate, pb, and butter together, but I'm not a fan of using the micro for melting chocolate. I like to have more control over my melting.
