Chex Funfetti Cake Batter Buddies
These Chex Funfetti Cake Batter Buddies are a sweet, crunchy delight that's perfect for any occasion!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 10 ounces white almond bark (or white chocolate)
- 1 teaspoon shortening
- 5 cups Chex cereal (any variety)
- 1 cup cake mix (funfetti or preferred flavor)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the Chex from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white almond bark and shortening. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until completely melted and smooth. Be cautious not to overheat, as this can cause the chocolate to seize.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the Chex cereal and funfetti cake mix. Gently toss them together until the cereal is coated with the cake mix.
- Once the almond bark is melted, pour it over the Chex and cake mix. Use a spatula to gently fold the mixture until all the cereal is evenly coated in the chocolate.
- Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the coated Chex mixture. Again, fold gently to ensure that the sugar is well-distributed and every piece of cereal is coated.
- Pour the Chex mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out in an even layer. Allow it to cool completely, which will take about 30 minutes.
- Once cooled, break the Chex Funfetti Cake Batter Buddies into clusters. You can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, though we doubt they’ll last that long!
