Recipe by Katherine Sacks This salty-sweet “snack cake” has a simple honey-peanut butter base (no added sugar needed), plus all your favorite snacks: crunchy cereal, crispy puffed rice, and salty peanuts, pretzels, and potato chips. Finish it with a dram

Ingredients

  • Nonstick vegetable oil spray
  • 1 1/2 cups creamy, no-stir peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons warmed virgin coconut oil, divided
  • 5 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 2 cups Chex cereal
  • 1 1/2 cups salted mini pretzels, lightly crushed
  • 1 cup potato chips, lightly crushed
  • 1 cup roasted, salted peanuts

Instructions

  1. Line Bundt pan with plastic wrap, leaving a few inches of overhang; coat with nonstick spray.
  2. Whisk peanut butter, honey, vanilla, and 1/2 cup coconut oil in a large bowl until combined. Using a spatula, gently fold in cereals, pretzels, potato chips, and peanuts. Transfer mixture to prepared pan, spreading evenly and pressing firmly into pan. Chill until cake is set, at least 1 hour.

  4. Using plastic overhang, lift cake from pan, then invert onto a platter. Drizzle cooled cake with melted chocolate, then chill to set before serving, about 10 minutes.
