Description

A quick and delicious treat made with Captain Crunch cereal, creamy peanut butter, and chocolate.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups Captain Crunch cereal
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup Reese’s Pieces candy
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Captain Crunch cereal and powdered sugar.
  2. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and peanut butter together, stirring until smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal. Stir until all the cereal is evenly coated.
  4. Press the mixture firmly into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
  6. Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal mixture and spread evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the Reese’s Pieces on top, gently pressing them into the chocolate.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
  9. Once set, cut into bars and serve.

Notes

  • For a crunchier texture, try adding chopped peanuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before refrigerating.
  • You can also substitute the milk chocolate chips with dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
