A small white ceramic pot filled to the top with many small, soft green square pillows that have a powdery coating, giving them a slightly rough texture. Some of the green pillows are placed scattered around the pot on a white marbled surface, adding a casual feel. The pot has two small handles on each side, and the overall color contrast is soft green against clean white, with a neutral background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

8 cups Shredded Wheat Cereal
1 cup Powdered Erythritol
4 tsp Matcha Powder
Pinch of Salt
4 oz Healthy Matcha Green Tea White Chocolate
128g (½ cup) Roasted Almond Butter

Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered erythritol, matcha powder, and salt. Transfer this dry mixture into a gallon-sized sealable plastic bag.
Step 2: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the matcha white chocolate and roasted almond butter. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Step 3: Add the shredded wheat cereal to the melted mixture and gently fold it until all pieces are evenly coated.
Step 4: Pour the coated cereal into the prepared plastic bag with the dry mixture, seal tightly, and shake vigorously until the cereal is fully coated with the matcha coating and sweetener mixture.
Step 5: Spread the coated cereal evenly on a large cookie sheet and refrigerate uncovered for about 3 hours until it becomes dry and crunchy.
Step 6: Once set, divide the Muddy Buddies into individual portions and store in the freezer for easy, portion-controlled snacking. Enjoy straight from the freezer for the best crunch and flavor.

Tips & Variations

Use almond or cashew butter for a different nutty flavor while keeping the snack creamy.
If you prefer a sweeter treat, increase the powdered erythritol by a quarter cup.
Try adding a handful of chopped nuts or seeds to the mix for extra texture and nutrition.

Storage

Store the finished Muddy Buddies in an airtight container or sealed bag in the freezer for up to 1 month. This keeps them fresh and crunchy. When ready to eat, enjoy directly from the freezer without thawing for a perfect crisp texture.

FAQs

Can I use regular sugar instead of powdered erythritol?

Yes, you can substitute powdered erythritol with powdered sugar for a sweeter version, but it will increase the sugar content.

What if I don’t have matcha white chocolate?

If you can’t find matcha white chocolate, melt white chocolate chips and mix in 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder before heating for a similar flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Cereal Mix

8 cups Shredded Wheat Cereal

Coating Blend

1 cup Powdered Erythritol
4 tsp Matcha Powder
Pinch of Salt
4 oz Healthy Matcha Green Tea White Chocolate
128g (½ cup) Roasted Almond Butter

Instructions

Prepare Sweet Matcha Mix: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered erythritol, matcha powder, and a pinch of salt until fully combined to create a dry seasoning mixture.
Melt Chocolate and Almond Butter: Place the matcha white chocolate and almond butter in your largest microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second increments, stirring thoroughly between each interval until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Coat the Cereal: Add the shredded wheat cereal to the melted mixture and gently fold until every piece is fully coated with the smooth matcha-chocolate blend.
Combine with Dry Mix: Transfer the coated cereal into a gallon-sized sealable plastic bag containing the powdered erythritol and matcha mixture. Seal the bag securely and shake vigorously until the cereal is evenly coated with the dry mixture.
Set and Chill: Spread the coated cereal evenly onto a large cookie sheet. Refrigerate uncovered for 3 hours or until the mixture is completely dried and crunchy.
Store for Snacking: Once set, divide the treat into individual portion-sized baggies for convenient, express snacking. Store these bags in the freezer to enjoy the crunchy treat directly from frozen.

Notes

Use a large bowl to ensure even coating without breaking the cereal pieces.
Microwaving in short bursts prevents the matcha white chocolate from burning.
Refrigerating uncovered helps the coating set properly for a crunchy texture.
Storing in the freezer keeps the snack fresh and adds a refreshing crunch when eaten cold.
This recipe is ideal for those looking for a lower-sugar, antioxidant-rich snack thanks to matcha and erythritol.
