A classic recipe. Very good, only used half the amount of butter because it seemed like a lot. Next time I will try leaving it out all together.

Most importantly, if you don't want to use a ton of powdered sugar - don't use a paper bag. I started with the paper bag but it was way too sugar coated for us. With the second half of the batch I sprinkled powdered sugar on a deep cookie sheet and then layered the coated cereal and sprinkled powdered sugar over the top then mixed by hand breaking up the chunks to coat with a little powdered sugar. I also suggest that this be melted over low heat on the stove top. I melted in the micro stirring at 30 second intervals for a total of 1 min 30 sec and it was getting stiffer after the first minute. I followed other suggestions and used crispix and thought it was great. I didn't have enough peanut butter so I threw in some nutella and I think this worked well although it did add more sugar. Overall pretty good treat in moderation.

I make this for the Holidays every year I also have a nephew that request every time we get together and send more to college with him. This is the recipe I have used for our Dog Club annual Banquet as a table favor for 140 people! I don't really measure the peanut butter I use 2 serving spoon fulls and I don't measure the powdered sugar I pour in about 1/4 of a 2lb bag (I found the perfect container for this is an 8quart plastic food prep container with lid from GFS) put the lid on and shake and roll add a bit more till it looks white bottom to top so you don't get sticky fingers! You can use less sugar if you don't heat the peanut butter and butter and chocolate too much just till it is all melted then I add a teaspoon of salt stir and pour over cereal.

I made this with a 3-year-old preschool class. I skipped the pb to avoid allergies. This is a great kid-friendly recipe!!! I gave each child a baggie with the squares covered in chocolate. Then, I dumped powdered sugar in the individual bag and let the children shake them up!

This stuff is soooo goood!!! The only change I made to this recipe is that instead of using 1/3 cup of confectioners sugar I used a cup because I wanted every single cereal bit to be covered. I used a resealable gallon zip lock bag to shake the sugar onto the cereal. Next time I think I will cut the peanut butter down to a 1/2 cup but this still turned out delicious!!!

Awful. This is extremely rich and messy. I had a lot of people tell me how delicious this is so I made it. I don't love the taste of powdered sugar, so maybe something else to coat it would be better. As it stands, I won't ever be making this again.
