Ingredients
- 6 cups Crispix cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Melt the goodies: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. If not fully melted, microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Add flavor: Stir in the vanilla extract into the melted mixture until well combined. This little step adds a depth of flavor that’s just *chef’s kiss*.
- Mix in cereal: Gently fold the Crispix cereal into the chocolate mixture until each piece is evenly coated. Be careful not to crush the cereal—you want those clusters to have some crunch!
- Form clusters: Drop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. If the mixture is too sticky, lightly grease your hands with butter or cooking spray to make shaping easier.
- Dust with sugar: Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the clusters while they’re still sticky. This not only adds a sweet finish but helps keep them from sticking together.
- Chill to set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the clusters are firm to the touch.

Crispix Caramel Popcorn Mix
Guess what? You’re about to make the easiest, most addictive snack that’ll have everyone begging for the recipe. This Crispix Caramel Popcorn Mix is the perfect blend of sweet, salty, and crunchy, and it’s ridiculously simple to whip up.
Ingredients
- 6 cups Crispix cereal
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter

- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Heat your oven to 250°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix cereal: Pour the Crispix cereal into a large bowl, making sure it’s big enough to stir in the caramel later without making a mess.
