Ingredients:

  • 9 cups Rice or Corn Chex cereal (approx. 350g)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (175g)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (125g)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (55g)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1.75 cups powdered sugar (220g)

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Cereal: Measure out 9 cups of Rice or Corn Chex cereal and place them in your largest heat safe mixing bowl. Note: Using a large bowl prevents the cereal from spilling during the folding process.
  2. Combine the Fats: In a medium microwave safe bowl, add 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, and 1/4 cup unsalted butter.
  3. Melt Carefully: Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring each time. Stop until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy. Usually, this takes about 1 minute 30 seconds total.
  4. Season the Base: Stir in 1 tsp pure vanilla extract and 1/4 tsp fine sea salt. Note: The salt is vital for cutting through the richness of the fats.
  5. Coat the Cereal: Pour the warm chocolate mixture over the Chex. Use a rubber spatula to gently lift and fold until every piece is dark and coated.
  6. The Flash Cool: Let the mixture sit in the bowl for 2 to 3 minutes. This allows it to reach the Tacky Stage where it won't melt the sugar.
  7. Sugar Prep: Divide 1.75 cups of powdered sugar between your two 1 gallon bags.
  8. The Big Shake: Add the coated cereal to the bags, seal them with plenty of air inside, and shake vigorously until the cereal looks like little snowballs.
  9. Set and Serve: Spread the mixture onto a parchment lined baking sheet for 15 minutes to fully set before storing.
