Indulge in this irresistible classic, now made perfectly gluten-free! This recipe delivers the ideal balance of crunchy cereal, rich chocolate-peanut butter coating, and a sweet powdered sugar dusting.


Ingredients

  • 9 cups gluten-free corn or rice cereal (e.g., Chex)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (ensure gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prepare Your Workspace: Lay out a large piece of parchment paper. Measure cereal into a very large mixing bowl.
  • Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
  • Coat the Cereal: Pour melted chocolate mixture over cereal. Gently fold and stir with a rubber spatula until every piece is evenly coated.
