Muddy Buddy Recipe
This no-bake Muddy Buddy Recipe is a sweet, crunchy snack that blends creamy peanut butter, melted chocolate, and powdered sugar-coated Chex cereal in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 9 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar sifted for lump-free coating
- pinch of fine sea salt balances the sweetness
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt peanut butter and butter.
- Remove from heat, stir in chocolate chips until glossy, then blend in vanilla and salt.
- Drizzle the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over Rice Chex cereal in a mixing bowl and toss gently until coated.
- Transfer coated cereal into a zip-top bag with powdered sugar, shake to coat evenly.
- Spread the coated cereal on the baking sheet, let it set at room temperature, then break apart any clumps and serve.
Notes
For a richer mouthfeel, use full-fat peanut butter. Warm your cereal bowl to help chocolate adhere better. Customize with add-ins like mini-M&Ms or chopped nuts.
