About this dish

Each square of grid-shaped cereal gets its own coat of chocolate and peanut butter, then a dusting of powdered sugar, so the mix stays loose instead of pressing into a bar.

There is no oven; the coating sets as it cools. The melted chocolate rests for about two minutes before it goes on, because poured too hot it softens the cereal and melts the sugar away.

Instructions

4 steps

1

Place cereal in a large bowl and line a tray with parchment.
2

Microwave chocolate, peanut butter and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, for about 1-2 minutes until smooth.

Add vanilla and let the fierce heat subside about 2 minutes.
3

Pour the still-fluid chocolate over the cereal and fold gently from bottom to top until evenly coated.
4

Sift in confectioners sugar in two additions and toss gently to coat.

Spread loosely on the tray and cool at least 20 minutes until the coating sets, then refrigerate airtight.
