Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Melt the Mix: 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. Then stir in vanilla extract for added flavor.
- Coat the Cereal: Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the melted chocolate mixture and gently stir until all the cereal is evenly coated, ensuring each bite is flavorful.
- Add the Sugar Coating: Transfer the chocolate-coated cereal to a large zip-top bag or a mixing bowl with a lid. Add the powdered sugar, then shake or stir until the cereal is thoroughly coated and has a dusty, sweet finish.
- Set and Store: Spread the coated cereal mixture out onto a baking sheet to cool and set. Once cooled, store the Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for the best smooth coating.
- Microwave in short intervals to avoid burning the chocolate and butter mixture.
- Make sure all cereal pieces are evenly coated for consistent flavor and texture.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely before storing to prevent clumping.
- Store in an airtight container to keep the snack fresh for up to a week.
