Ingredients
12 ounces mini candy bars, such as Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Snickers, Hershey’s Milk Chocolate, Krackel, 3 Musketeers or a mix
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
One 12-ounce box corn, rice or wheat cereal squares or a mix, such as Chex or Crispix (about 9 cups)
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 cups salted roasted peanuts
1 cup candy corn (about 6.5 ounces)
Directions
- Place a large glass bowl over a saucepan filled with 1 inch of water. Add the candy bars and butter to the bowl and turn the heat to medium. Heat, stirring occasionally and smashing any chunks with a rubber spatula, until both the candy and butter are completely melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Add the cereal to the bowl with the chocolate mixture and stir to coat. Put the confectioners' sugar in a brown grocery bag or 2-gallon resealable bag, add the cereal mixture and shake to coat. Transfer to a large serving dish, gently toss in the peanuts and candy corn and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
