Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Corn or rice chex cereal
- 1 cup Butterscotch chips
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
Instructions
Place the 6 cups of cereal in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of butterscotch chips, 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter, and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted (approximately 1-2 minutes).
Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the melted mixture.
Pour the melted butterscotch mixture over the cereal, gently tossing until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated.
Transfer the coated cereal into a large gallon-sized plastic zip-top bag (or any resealable container with a lid).
Add 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar to the bag. Seal it and shake vigorously until the cereal is completely coated in the powdered sugar.
Spread the powdered sugar-coated cereal onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper to cool and set for about 15 minutes.
Once set, transfer to a serving bowl or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
