Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 cups Chex cereal
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 small box (3 ounce) Banana Cream pudding mix
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Cereal Base: Measure 6 cups of Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl and set it aside to be coated later.
- Melt the Coating Mixture: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine ½ cup butter, 1 cup white chocolate chips, ½ cup sweetened condensed milk, and 1 tablespoon milk. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and the chocolate chips are completely melted.
- Add Banana Pudding Mix: Remove the saucepan from heat and gently whisk in the 3-ounce box of banana cream pudding mix until well combined and fully incorporated within the mixture.
- Coat the Cereal: Pour half of the melted mixture over the Chex cereal. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat all the cereal pieces evenly. Repeat with the remaining melted mixture to ensure thorough coverage.
- Add the Powdered Sugar: Sprinkle ½ cup powdered sugar over the coated cereal and stir well to distribute. Spread the mixture out onto waxed paper and dust with additional powdered sugar as desired to achieve your preferred level of sweetness and coating.
- Cool and Finish: Allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes. Stir lightly to break up any clumps, then dust with the remaining powdered sugar for a final sweet finish. Serve immediately and enjoy this creamy, crunchy snack!
Notes
- For best results, use fresh Chex cereal to retain crunchiness.
- You can substitute banana cream pudding mix with another flavor, but it may alter the taste significantly.
- Make sure to toss cereal gently when coating to avoid crushing the cereal pieces.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Allow the mix to cool completely before storing to prevent sogginess.
