Perfect for parties, movie nights, or an indulgent treat, this recipe offers a delightful blend of crunchy texture and sweet, peanut buttery flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Cereal Mix

  • 4 cups Rice or Corn Chex Cereal

Chocolate Mixture

  • 4 oz baking chocolate (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Peanut Butter Mixture

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter

Candy Bars

  • 6 BUTTERFINGER® Fun-Size Bars, chopped
  • 1 cup BUTTERFINGER® Peanut Butter Cup Minis

Coating

  • 1 cup powdered sugar (divided into two 1/2 cup portions)

Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate: Over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second increments, melt the 4 oz of baking chocolate on low heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning or seizing. Once fully melted and smooth, remove from heat.
  2. Melt Peanut Butter: In a separate bowl, microwave 1/2 cup peanut butter for 20-30 seconds or until it becomes liquid and easy to mix.
  3. Chop Candy Bars: Chop the six Butterfinger Fun-Size bars into small pieces and set aside for later use.
  4. Mix Chocolate Coated Cereal: Take 2 cups of Chex cereal and gently stir it into the melted chocolate until all pieces are evenly coated. Add half of the chopped Butterfinger candy bars to this mixture and gently stir to combine.
  5. Mix Peanut Butter Coated Cereal: In a separate bowl, mix the remaining 2 cups of cereal with the melted peanut butter, stirring gently to coat evenly. Add the remaining chopped Butterfinger candy bars and stir gently.
  6. Coat Chocolate Cereal with Powdered Sugar: In a large gallon-sized ziplock bag, combine 1/2 cup powdered sugar with the chocolate-coated cereal. Seal the bag with some air inside and shake vigorously until the cereal is well coated in powdered sugar. It’s fine if some pieces have more coating than others.
  7. Coat Peanut Butter Cereal with Powdered Sugar: Repeat the same process in a second large ziplock bag using the other 1/2 cup powdered sugar and the peanut butter coated cereal. Seal and shake until coated thoroughly.
  8. Combine and Add Minis: Transfer both coated cereal batches to a large mixing bowl. Mix together gently, then fold in 1 cup Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cup Minis evenly throughout.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Your Butterfinger Puppy Chow is now ready to be served as a decadent, crunchy snack to enjoy immediately or stored for later.

Notes

  • Use semi-sweet or milk chocolate according to your preference for sweetness.
  • Ensure to let the melted chocolate and peanut butter cool slightly before mixing with cereal to avoid sogginess.
  • Shaking the cereal in the powdered sugar with air inside the bag helps coat the pieces evenly for better texture.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
  • This recipe can be doubled or halved depending on your desired yield.
