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

Finishing Touch

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, shaken (or 1/2 cup, sprinkled)

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 heating prevents burning and ensures a creamy texture.
  2. Add Butter and Vanilla: Stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture. This step adds richness and depth to the flavor while creating a creamy consistency.
  3. Coat the Rice Krispies: Place the Rice Krispies cereal in a large mixing bowl. Slowly drizzle the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the cereal and gently fold to evenly coat every piece. Take your time to ensure thorough coverage without crushing the cereal.
  4. Let It Cool: Spread the coated cereal mixture evenly onto a lined baking sheet. Allow it to cool and set for about 15-20 minutes. This helps the mixture firm up while keeping the cereal crunchy.
  5. Add the Powdered Sugar: Once cooled, transfer the coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag. Add powdered sugar and gently shake the bag until all pieces are dusted in a sugary layer. Alternatively, sprinkle the sugar over the mixture for a lighter coating.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Cut the Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies into squares and serve. Perfect for sharing at parties or enjoying as a sweet treat any time of day.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest coating; chunky peanut butter can create uneven texture.
  • Be patient when melting chocolate and peanut butter to avoid burning.
  • You can store leftover Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sun butter or omit entirely and increase chocolate chips slightly.
  • Sprinkling powdered sugar rather than shaking can reduce clumping if desired.
