Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 1.5 cups Salted peanuts
- 2 cups Butterscotch chips
- 0.5 cups Peanut butter
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, mini pretzels, and salted peanuts. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the butterscotch chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Immediately pour the melted butterscotch and peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl.
Gently toss the mixture with a spatula to ensure every piece is evenly coated. Be careful not to crush the cereal.
Once coated, sprinkle the powdered sugar over the mix and toss again until everything is lightly dusted and no sticky spots remain.
Spread the snack mix onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow it to cool and set for about 30 minutes at room temperature.
Once the mix is set, break it into bite-sized clusters and transfer it to an airtight container for storage. Serve and enjoy!
