Ingredients:
- 9 cups rice Chex cereal
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions:
- Measure out 9 cups of rice Chex cereal and set them aside in a large bowl.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are completely melted.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the melted mixture and stir until well combined.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the measured Chex cereal. Use a silicone spatula to gently fold the cereal, ensuring that every piece is evenly coated with the delicious chocolate blend.
- Transfer the coated cereal mix into a gallon-sized plastic bag.
- Add 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar to the bag, ensuring that it is well-sealed. Shake the bag vigorously, ensuring the powdered sugar evenly coats the chocolate-covered cereal. Feel free to turn, toss, and shake until all pieces are perfectly coated.
- Once coated, spread the Muddy Buddies onto a parchment paper-lined tray to cool and set.
- Allow the Muddy Buddies to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container.
