Description
A deliciously irresistible no-bake snack mix made with Chex cereal, peanut butter, chocolate, and powdered sugar.
Ingredients
9 cups Chex cereal (Rice, Corn, or Wheat)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
Step 1: Measure 9 cups of Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
Step 2: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave on high for 1 minute; stir. Microwave for another 30 seconds if needed, until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
Step 3: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the Chex cereal. Gently stir with a rubber spatula until the cereal is evenly coated.
Step 4: Pour the coated cereal into a large (2-gallon) resealable plastic bag or a large lidded container. Add the powdered sugar.
Step 5: Seal the bag or container and shake vigorously until the cereal is completely coated with powdered sugar.
Step 6: Spread the Muddy Buddies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool and set for about 15-20 minutes.
Notes
For a less sweet version, reduce powdered sugar to 1 cup. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
