Muddy Buddies
Boy, oh, boy, I’m not sure how to even describe these little tasty treats. They’re chocolatey, and peanut buttery, and crunchy, and sweet.

Calories 284kcal
Ingredients
- 1 14 1/2 ounce Chocolate Chex cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups confectioners sugar
Instructions
- Place cereal in a large resealable bowl.
- Melt and combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter in a double boiler. You can also microwave them, in 30 second intervals, stirring often. I prefer a double boiler, I just find it easier to melt everything without over doing it.
- Pour melted mixture over the cereal and fold gently to coat the cereal.
- Sprinkle the cereal with the sugar. Seal the bowl and gently shake and roll the bowl around to coat all of the cereal.
- Place a large piece of wax paper on your countertop. Pour the cereal onto the paper, spreading it out evenly.
- Let cereal cool completely before serving. Serve unused treats in the fridge.
