Butterfinger Puppy Chow

Happy Friday! Do you all have any fun plans for the weekend? I don't have too much going on but sometimes those are the best weekends. And anyways, next weekend I will be in Chicago so I definitely have a lot to look forward to and plan. If you have any recommendations for places to see or restaurants to check out, please let me know! You know I am always looking for a city's best bakery. 

I usually don't post anything on Fridays, but I was really excited to share this Butterfinger Puppychow. Up until last week, I had never tried Puppychow, or Muddy Buddies as some people call them. But maybe that was a good thing because this Butterfinger Puppychow is one of the most addictive snacks I have ever had. I had to sent the rest of the bag into work with my boyfriend so that I wouldn't eat it all. Given that I am a big-time snacker, I couldn't keep my hand out of the bag. And now I can't stop thinking about what flavor combination I should try next- any suggestions? 

Butterfinger Puppychow

Recipe from Your Cup of Cake

6 cups Rice Chex Cereal
1 cup milk chocolate melts
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cup Butterfingers, crushed

Add the Chex cereal to a large mixing bowl and set aside. In a microwave safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate melts, peanut butter and vanilla extract. Melt in the microwave for about 45 seconds. Stir with a spoon and then put the bowl back in the microwave for an additional 15 seconds. Pour the mixture over the Chex cereal and stir until evenly coated.

Dump the entire mixture into a plastic bag, add the crushed Butterfingers and shake until evenly coated.
Pour the mixture onto a cookie sheet and let cool completely.
