This easy, no-bake snack mix combines crispy Chex cereal, melty chocolate, creamy peanut butter, and loads of Butterfinger bits for a dangerously snackable treat. Perfect for parties, movie nights, or anytime you need a sweet, crunchy fix.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 cups Rice Chex cereal (about 255g)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (170g)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (120g)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (56g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
  • 6 fun-size Butterfinger candy bars or 2 full-size (about 90g), crushed
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (180g), plus more if needed
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 9 cups of Rice Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth and melted (about 1.5 to 2 minutes total).
  3. Stir in vanilla extract. Reserve 1/3 of the crushed Butterfinger bars for topping; add the rest to the melted chocolate mixture and stir to combine.
  4. Pour the chocolate-Butterfinger mixture over the cereal. Gently fold with a spatula until all pieces are evenly coated.
  5. Transfer the coated cereal to a large zip-top bag or food storage container. Add powdered sugar, seal, and shake vigorously until all pieces are coated. Add more powdered sugar if needed for a thick, snowy coating.
  6. Open the bag and sprinkle in the reserved Butterfinger bits. Seal and gently shake or toss to distribute.
  7. Spread the snack mix on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool and set for 10-15 minutes. Once cooled, transfer to a serving bowl or store in an airtight container.

Notes

For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free Chex and check all other ingredients. For nut-free, substitute sunflower seed butter for peanut butter. Let the mix cool completely before storing to prevent clumping. Add extra powdered sugar if the mix is sticky. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to 2 months.
