Description
Butterfinger Puppy Chow is a sweet, crunchy snack mix that’s an irresistible twist on the classic. With a buttery, chocolatey coating and crushed Butterfinger candy, it’s a bold, peanut butter-chocolate treat that’s perfect for parties, movie nights, or any time you want something snackable.
Ingredients
- 9 cups Rice or corn Chex cereal
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- 3 Butterfinger candy bars, crushed (plus extra for topping)
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Place the Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter, peanut butter, and chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Stir in the crushed Butterfingers until evenly combined.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the Chex cereal and gently fold everything together until fully coated.
- Transfer the coated cereal into a large zip-top bag or container with a lid. Add powdered sugar and shake until the cereal is fully coated and no longer sticky.
- Spread the mix out on a baking sheet to cool completely, then top with extra crushed Butterfingers for more candy crunch, if desired.
Notes
- Mix in mini pretzels, peanuts, or mini marshmallows for added texture.
- Use Butterfinger baking bits if you don’t have candy bars, or swap in Reese’s or chopped toffee bars for a twist.
- For a lighter version, try using white chocolate and peanut butter with crushed Butterfingers.
- Store the puppy chow in an airtight container for up to 5 days. For longer freshness, keep it in the fridge. Freezing is also an option for up to 1 month.
