- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar (or xylitol)
Instructions
- Pour the cereal into a very large bowl. Set aside.
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl on top of a pot of boiling water, stirring frequently, until smooth. Stir in the peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and salt. Stir until combined and completely melted and smooth.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal. Stir until combined. Add the powdered sugar and toss until fully coated.
