Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- Optional: 1/2 cup mini M&Ms or Reese’s Pieces for extra crunch and color
Instructions
- Place Rice Krispies cereal in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth (about 1–2 minutes total).
- Stir in vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the Rice Krispies and gently stir until all cereal is evenly coated.
- Transfer the coated cereal into a large zip-top bag or container. Add powdered sugar, seal, and shake until the pieces are well coated and no longer sticky.
- Spread the mixture out on parchment paper to cool and set for about 15 minutes.
- Optional: Stir in mini M&Ms or Reese’s Pieces once cooled for extra color and flavor.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
- For a festive touch, add holiday-colored candies or sprinkles.
- If you prefer it extra chocolaty, drizzle additional melted chocolate over the finished mix before cooling.
