Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Mixture
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cereal and Coating
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Mixture: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter, chocolate chips, and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until the mixture is melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Combine with Cereal: Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the melted chocolate mixture and gently stir using a spatula or spoon until the cereal is evenly coated with the chocolate-peanut butter mixture.
- Add the Powdered Sugar: Transfer the coated cereal into a large zip-top bag or a mixing bowl with a lid. Add the powdered sugar, seal or cover, and shake vigorously to coat every piece thoroughly with powdered sugar.
- Serve and Store: Spread the coated cereal mixture onto a baking sheet in a single layer and allow it to cool and set for about 10 minutes. Once set, store the muddy buddies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest coating.
- Microwave in short intervals to avoid burning the chocolate.
- Make sure to shake well with powdered sugar for that classic muddy buddy finish.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips based on preference.
