Ingredients

Scale

Snack Mix Ingredients

  • 9 cups Crispy Rice Chex Cereal
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure out all the cereal, chocolate chips, peanut butter, butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar so you are ready for the melting and mixing steps.
  2. Melt Butter, Chocolate, and Peanut Butter: In a medium microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop, combine the butter, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and creamy peanut butter. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring between each until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Stir in vanilla extract once melted.
  3. Coat the Cereal: Place the crispy rice cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the cereal and gently stir until every piece is evenly coated with the glossy chocolate.
  4. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Add the powdered sugar to a large resealable plastic bag. Transfer the coated cereal into the bag, seal it well, and shake thoroughly until all pieces are evenly coated with powdered sugar.
  5. Cool and Serve: Spread the Muddy Buddies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let cool for about 20 minutes. Once cooled, enjoy your perfect movie night snack!

Notes

  • Use fresh cereal to ensure maximum crunch and prevent sogginess.
  • Don’t overheat the chocolate; melt gently to avoid burning and maintain smoothness.
  • Shake thoroughly to coat each piece evenly with powdered sugar for the iconic muddy look.
  • Use a large bowl or bag to mix so the cereal pieces don’t get crushed.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep the snack fresh and crunchy.
