Reviews
Have made it for years
Didn’t change a thing. Mixture coated cereal very well. I heated the chocolate/peanut butter mixture in 2 stages in microwave to limit hot spots.
I love this treat! I was out of vanilla, but it was still delicious! So easy to make! And just like lightening, it was gone in a flash!
I make this all the time, especially around the holidays. My 22 year old son loves them. I’m making some right now to send him a batch for his birthday. He lives in the SF Bay Area and I live 3 hours north of Sacramento … 4 hours away from home His birthday is Oct. 20th. I’m sending him this yumminess as a surprise .. a little piece of home .. and my heart (Love is the secret ingredient) ♥️
The recipe is very good. I was highly impressed, I purchase them daily at the Sunoco gas station , I started out with buying the powdered sugar plain ones , then I seen the peanut butter chocolate , thinking there’s got to be a recipe and this the one , Delious!!!!!! Highly impressed…
Simple and easy to make. Would recommend and send it as gifts. 10/10
No changes. Kids loved them
Easy to make and everyone loved them!
I have made this several times. I double it cause it is a huge favorite. Note !!! I do not use a microwave. I use a 2qt sauce pan with water and a stainless steel mixing bowl. making a double boiler. This, in my opinion is the best way. I do add more peanut butter and butter because I love peanut butter. Add more butter to thin it out a bit. better coverage.
This is always a winner at my house. It never last very long. I use Crispix instead of Chexs.
Easy and good!!! Made a decent amount. Super quick and easy to make. I made this for a Halloween party. I mixed in pretzels and m&ms too for some additional salty sweet!
So yummy! My family ate it all up so fast!
My family is gluten and dairy free, and we made this snack when we lived in Madison, Mississippi for the church picnic. Everyone loved it!!!! Now we live in Florida, and we still make it when we go up to Mississippi for the picnic, and when we want a sweet treat.
This is a yummy treat that everybody loves! You can switch out the Chex flavors for your own touch!
My mum used to make it all the time when I was younger. They’re still my favourite homemade treat!
I make this every single year since my kids were small, several times between Halloween and New Year’s. It is something that is required!!! Lol! This recipe is very similar to the 1 I used to have. The kids gave this 4 thumbs up!!!! I doubled the recipe and made then added a little bit more just to ensure we had enough. It barely lasted 3 days and I got NONE of it!!! So I guess the kids approved:) !!!
Always great. I didn’t make them for Christmas this year and everyone was asking about them. Oh well
i used baking caramel bites instead of peanut butter but it came out delicious
My ziploc bag did not coat everything. I poured it all into my soup pot and had a more even coating when I did it by hand. Tastes so good!
I put a tad more peanut butter in and more powdered sugar sooooo good.
These are good and so easy to make!!!
