Muddy Buddies, also known as Puppy Chow, is a classic snack that combines crunchy Chex cereal with a rich coating of peanut butter and melted chocolate, all tossed in powdered sugar. It's the perfect sweet and salty treat that's easy to make and impossible to resist!

Ingredients

7 cups rice Chex

1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips

¾ cup creamy peanut butter

6 Tablespoons salted butter

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

3-4 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Measure the rice Chex cereal into a large bowl and set it aside.
  2. In a separate large microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, chocolate chips, and butter.
  3. Microwave in increments of 15 seconds, stirring in between, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract and mix well.
  5. Pour the melted mixture over the cereal and gently stir until the cereal is evenly coated.
  6. Spoon the coated cereal into a large zip-lock bag.
  7. Add the powdered sugar to the bag, seal it, and shake the bag until the cereal is completely coated.
  8. Remove the coated cereal from the bag and pour it into a serving bowl.
  9. Serve at room temperature and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a twist, try using almond butter or cashew butter instead of peanut butter.
  • Feel free to add mini marshmallows, M&Ms, or nuts for extra texture and flavor.
  • If you're looking for a spicy version, add a pinch of cinnamon or cayenne pepper.
  • Ensure the rice Chex is certified gluten-free if needed for dietary restrictions.
  • For dairy-free, substitute with dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut oil or margarine.
