Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 9 cups Crispy Rice Square Cereal
• 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
• 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
• 1/4 cup Butter
• 1 tsp. Pure Vanilla Extract
• 1-1/2 cups Confectioners’ Sugar

For the equipment, you’ll need a large bowl, a microwave-safe bowl, and a 2-gallon resealable plastic bag.

Now, chocolate and peanut butter are the heart of this recipe, giving it that heavenly finger-licking taste. And don’t skimp on the crispy rice cereal, it’s what gives the Muddy Buddies their characteristic crunch! Substitute semi-sweet chocolate with dark chocolate to add a bit of sophistication, or try almond butter instead of peanut butter if you’re in for a twist.

How To Make Homestyle Muddy Buddies Recipe

1. First off, measure out the cereal into a large bowl. Keep it aside for the time being.
2. Now, in your microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave this delightful mix on High for 1 minute.
3. After a minute, give everything a good stir. Then continue microwaving it for another 30 seconds or until it’s perfectly smooth.
4. Add in the vanilla extract and give everything a nice mix until it���s evenly blended.
5. Pour the mixture over the cereal gradually, making sure it is evenly coated. Go on, don’t be shy!
6. Finally, pour the coated cereal into the resealable bag, add the confectioners’ sugar and shake well. Once all pieces are coated, let it cool and your Muddy Buddies are ready to be devoured!

Tips For The Best Results

• Don���t rush with the sugar coating. Let it stick properly for that classic Muddy Buddy look and feel.
• Always store in an airtight container to maintain the crunchiness.

Storage Tips

• Store in a cool, dry place. Humidity is not your friend here!
• Muddy Buddies will keep their freshness in an airtight container for up to 1 week. (If they last that long!)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What if I don’t have crispy rice square cereal? Can I use another type of cereal?

A: Yes, you can also use cornflakes or wheat cereal, just remember it may alter the taste slightly.

Q: I am allergic to peanuts, what can I use instead of peanut butter?

A: You can use almond butter or cashew butter as a substitute!

Q: Can I use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate

A: Absolutely, dark chocolate would give it a rich and slightly bitter taste that works great with the rest of the ingredients.

Q: Can I store these in the refrigerator?

A: Not recommended. The refrigerator will bring in moisture, and we want to keep our Muddy Buddies dry to maintain their crunchiness.

Q: Can I add marshmallows to them?

A: A handful of marshmallows can bring in a delightful chewiness. Sounds like a delish mix!
