Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Mixture
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Main Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Melt Ingredients: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, chocolate chips, and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is melted and smooth. Then, stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly to blend the flavors.
- Coat Cereal: Add the Rice Krispies cereal into the melted chocolate mixture. Gently fold the cereal into the mixture, stirring carefully to ensure every piece is evenly coated without breaking the cereal.
- Coat with Powdered Sugar: Transfer the coated cereal into a large zip-top bag or a mixing bowl with a lid. Add the powdered sugar, seal, and shake vigorously until all the cereal pieces are well coated with the powdered sugar for that signature Muddy Buddy look and taste.
- Cool and Store: Spread the coated cereal evenly on a baking sheet to cool and set. Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container to keep fresh and enjoy any time as a crunchy, sweet snack.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest coating.
- Microwave in short intervals to avoid burning the chocolate mixture.
- Gently stir to keep the cereal intact and prevent crushing.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
