Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 9 cups Chex cereal
Chocolate Peanut Butter Coating
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Coating
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Add-Ins
- 1 1/2 cups mini Reese’s cups
- 1 1/2 cups Reese’s pieces
Instructions
- Melt chocolate mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips, peanut butter, butter, and vanilla in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
- Coat cereal: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the Chex cereal and stir carefully until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated.
- Prepare powdered sugar coating: Place the powdered sugar into two gallon-sized storage bags.
- Coat with sugar: Divide the coated cereal evenly between the two bags, seal them tightly, and shake vigorously until the cereal is fully covered with powdered sugar.
- Let set: Spread the coated cereal out and allow it to set for 1 hour to let the coating firm up.
- Add Reese’s candies: Before serving, gently mix in the mini Reese’s cups and Reese’s pieces to the cereal mixture for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- If you prefer a smoother texture, warm the peanut butter slightly before melting to ensure it incorporates easily.
- Use fresh powdered sugar to avoid clumping during coating.
- Storing the muddy buddies in an airtight container helps maintain their crunch.
- You can substitute Reese’s pieces with other candy pieces like M&M’s if desired.
- Shaking the cereal in bags ensures even sugar coating and reduces cleanup.
