Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Mixture
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Main
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Mixture: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, chocolate chips, and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until the mixture is melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract to add depth to the flavor.
- Combine with Cereal: Add the Rice Krispies cereal into the melted chocolate mixture. Gently fold the cereal into the mixture, ensuring every piece is evenly coated with the chocolate and peanut butter blend.
- Add the Powdered Sugar: Transfer the coated cereal mixture into a large zip-top bag or a mixing bowl with a lid. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag or bowl, and shake or stir vigorously until the cereal is fully dusted in powdered sugar, giving that iconic muddy appearance.
- Serve and Store: Spread the coated cereal out onto a baking sheet to cool and set, which helps prevent clumps. Once cooled, store the Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for easier melting and coating.
- Microwave in short intervals to avoid burning the chocolate mixture.
- Make sure to shake well after adding powdered sugar for an even coating.
- Store in an airtight container to keep the treat fresh and crunchy for up to a week.
