Cuisine: American
Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare your workspace.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth and fully melted.
- Add vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture and stir until well incorporated.
- Pour the Rice Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl.
- Carefully pour the warm butterscotch-chocolate mixture over the cereal, gently folding and stirring to ensure every piece is evenly coated.
- Transfer the powdered sugar to a large zip-top bag or a large bowl with a tight-fitting lid.
- Add the coated cereal to the powdered sugar and shake or toss gently until all pieces are completely covered with a white powdery coating.
- Spread the finished Muddy Buddies on the prepared parchment paper to cool and let the coating set.
- Allow to cool completely for about 10-15 minutes before serving or storing in an airtight container.
Tips
- Microwave Magic: Be sure to melt the butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, and peanut butter in 30-second intervals to prevent burning. Stirring in between will help achieve that perfectly smooth consistency.
- Coating Technique: When adding the coated cereal to the powdered sugar, do it in batches to ensure an even coating. This will help every piece get that delightful sweet dusting.
- Storage Secrets: For the best texture, store your Muddy Buddies in an airtight container. They can last for up to a week, but trust us, they’ll be gone long before then!
- Add Your Twist: Feel free to customize your Muddy Buddies! Try adding crushed pretzels for an extra crunch or mix in some festive sprinkles for a fun touch.
- Cooling Time: Allow your Muddy Buddies to cool completely on the parchment paper before serving. This helps the coating set and makes them easier to enjoy!
