The addition of sprinkles offers it the best vacation flair.

This recipe is so straightforward that my children can just about make it by themselves! Melt the chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter with each other and drizzle it more than the cereal. Toss cautiously to coat, then add to a ziplock bag with the peanut butter and gently shake. That’s it! We added some sprinkles to give it some vacation flair. These are entirely optional!

It will have a unique flavor than the peanut butter version- but it’ll nonetheless be super tasty. It’s a fantastic decision when you are attempting to function with a peanut allergy.

This tends to make a fantastic present tied up in a cellophane bag or in a jar tied up with a vacation bow.
