Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, shaken (or 1/2 cup, sprinkled)
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

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. Taking time here 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 until smooth. This adds richness and depth of flavor.
  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, folding gently to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
  4. Let It Cool: Spread the coated cereal mixture onto a lined baking sheet, spreading out evenly. Allow it to cool and set for about 15-20 minutes to let the chocolate firm up and maintain the crispiness of the cereal.
  5. Add the Powdered Sugar: Transfer the cooled and set coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar and gently shake the bag until the pieces are evenly dusted in powdered sugar, giving the signature Muddy Buddy finish. Optionally, sprinkle the sugar for a lighter coating.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Cut the Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies into squares and serve as a delicious, crunchy sweet snack perfect for parties or anytime craving strikes.

Notes

  • Microwaving the chocolate and peanut butter in short intervals helps avoid burning and ensures a smooth mixture.
  • Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness and balance the sweetness.
  • You can adjust the amount of powdered sugar for a lighter or heavier coating to your preference.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crispiness.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with a seed butter like sunflower seed butter.
