Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Mixture
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cereal Coating
- 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 thoroughly between each interval, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract to incorporate flavor.
- Combine with Cereal: Add the 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal to the chocolate mixture. Gently stir with a spatula or spoon until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated with the chocolate and peanut butter mixture.
- Add the Powdered Sugar: Transfer the chocolate-coated cereal into a large zip-top plastic bag or a mixing bowl with a lid. Add the powdered sugar to the container, seal it securely, and shake vigorously until every piece of cereal is thoroughly coated with the powdered sugar.
- Serve and Store: Spread the coated cereal mixture evenly onto a baking sheet to cool and allow the coating to set properly. Once cooled, store the Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for snacking later.
Notes
- To ensure even melting, stir the chocolate mixture thoroughly between each microwave interval.
- If you don’t have a zip-top bag, use a large bowl with a lid for shaking the powdered sugar coating.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness and crunch.
- Optional: Add a pinch of salt to the chocolate mixture to balance the sweetness if desired.
