Ingredients

Scale

Cereal

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Chocolate Coating

  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Finishing

  • 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. Heating slowly prevents burning and ensures a creamy texture.
  2. Add Butter and Vanilla: Stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture. This step adds creaminess and enhances the flavor complexity.
  3. Coat the Rice Krispies: Place the Rice Krispies cereal in a large mixing bowl. Slowly drizzle the chocolate mixture over the cereal, gently folding to coat every piece evenly without breaking the cereal down.
  4. Let It Cool: Spread the coated mixture onto a lined baking sheet in an even layer. Allow it to cool and set for 15-20 minutes so the coating firms up and the cereal stays crunchy.
  5. Add the Powdered Sugar: Transfer the cooled, coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar and gently shake until the mixture is fully dusted, giving the classic muddy buddy appearance and extra sweetness. Alternatively, you can sprinkle the powdered sugar over the mixture.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Cut the Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies into squares or clusters. Serve as a fun and crunchy snack for any occasion.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
  • Ensure the mixture is completely cooled before adding powdered sugar to prevent clumping.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
  • For a gluten-free option, ensure the Rice Krispies cereal is certified gluten-free.
  • Adjust the amount of powdered sugar according to your preferred sweetness and coating thickness.
