Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate and Peanut Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each session until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. This gradual process ensures the mixture doesn’t burn and melts evenly.
  2. Add Butter and Vanilla: Stir the unsalted butter and vanilla extract into the chocolate-peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated, resulting in a creamy and flavorful coating.
  3. Coat the Rice Krispies: Place the Rice Krispies cereal in a large mixing bowl. Slowly drizzle the chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently fold to coat each piece evenly without crushing the cereal.
  4. Let It Cool: Spread the coated cereal evenly on a lined baking sheet. Allow it to cool and set for 15-20 minutes so that the coating firms up and the cereal remains crunchy.
  5. Add the Powdered Sugar: Transfer the cooled cereal mixture into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar and shake gently until the mixture is evenly coated, giving the snack its distinct Muddy Buddy appearance and flavor. Optionally, you can sprinkle the sugar on instead.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Cut the coated cereal into squares and serve immediately. This snack is ideal for sharing at gatherings or enjoying as a sweet crunchy treat anytime.

Notes

  • Make sure to melt the chocolate and peanut butter slowly to avoid scorching.
  • Use creamy peanut butter for better coating and texture.
  • Allow the mixture to cool completely before adding powdered sugar for best results.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate depending on preference.
