Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, shaken (or 1/2 cup, sprinkled)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate and Peanut Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each session until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Heating gradually ensures smooth texture without burning.
  2. Add Butter and Vanilla: Stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the melted mixture, adding creaminess and depth of flavor to the blend.
  3. Coat the Rice Krispies: Pour the Rice Krispies cereal into a large mixing bowl. Slowly drizzle the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the cereal, folding gently to ensure every piece is evenly coated.
  4. Let It Cool: Spread the coated cereal mixture onto a lined baking sheet. Allow it to cool and set for 15-20 minutes so the cereal remains crunchy and the coating firms up.
  5. Add the Powdered Sugar: Transfer the cooled, coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar and gently shake until all pieces are dusted with sugar, creating the signature Muddy Buddy appearance and flavor. Alternatively, sprinkle the sugar instead of shaking for a lighter coating.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Cut the Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies into squares and serve. Ideal for parties, snacks, or any time you want a sweet, crunchy treat.

Notes

  • For best results, melt chocolate and peanut butter slowly to avoid burning.
  • Use creamy peanut butter for smooth coating; chunky peanut butter may cause uneven texture.
  • Allow the mixture to fully cool before adding powdered sugar to ensure it sticks properly.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
  • Optional: Toast the Rice Krispies lightly to add a nutty flavor before mixing.
