Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 & 2/3 cup Chex cereal
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar (add more if desired)
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate and peanut butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and peanut butter by heating in 30-second increments. Stir well between each increment until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Add vanilla extract: Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture to enhance flavor and mix until fully incorporated.
- Coat the cereal: Gently fold 3 & 2/3 cups of Chex cereal into the melted chocolate peanut butter mixture until every piece is evenly coated with the mixture.
- Dust with powdered sugar: Place half of the powdered sugar into a gallon-size resealable bag, add the coated cereal mixture on top, then add the remaining powdered sugar. Seal the bag tightly and shake vigorously to coat the cereal pieces thoroughly with powdered sugar.
- Let it set: Spread the coated muddy buddies onto a parchment or wax paper-lined baking sheet and allow them to set and cool at room temperature for 30 minutes to firm up before serving or storing.
Notes
- For best results, use natural or creamy peanut butter for smoother coating.
- Microwave times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave; stir frequently to avoid burning.
- You can add more powdered sugar for a sweeter, more powdery finish.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- For variation, try using white chocolate chips or adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top.
