Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, add 3 cups of Chex cereal. Melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds at 50% power, then stir and check. If not fully melted, return for another 30 seconds until glossy and smooth. Pour the melted chocolate over the Chex, ensuring every piece is well-coated.
  2. Transfer the chocolate-coated Chex to a large Ziploc bag. Add ½ cup of powdered sugar along with 5 powdered Butterfinger bars. Seal the bag and shake vigorously until everything is evenly coated. Spread the mixture out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to dry for about 30 minutes.
  3. Melt ½ cup of creamy peanut butter in the microwave for 20 seconds. In another medium bowl, combine the warmed peanut butter with another 3 cups of Chex, ensuring each piece is well covered with a rich, creamy layer.
  4. Transfer the peanut butter-coated Chex to a clean Ziploc bag. Add another ½ cup of powdered sugar and another 5 powdered Butterfinger bars for sweetness. Seal the bag and shake gently until well coated. Allow this mixture to dry on a separate baking sheet for about 30 minutes.
  5. After both mixtures have dried, combine the chocolate Chex and peanut butter Chex in a large bowl. Chop the remaining 6 Butterfinger bars into bite-sized chunks and sprinkle over the blend. Gently toss everything together.
  6. Serve your Butterfinger Muddy Buddies in small cups or snack bags for easy sharing.
