Instructions
-
Measure out 9 cups of your favorite variety of Chex cereal and place it in a large mixing bowl. Set it aside for later.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter, and 1/4 cup of unsalted butter. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the chocolate mixture, ensuring it's well incorporated.
-
Pour the chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the bowl of Chex cereal. Gently fold the mixture until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated.
-
Grab a large resealable plastic bag and add 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar. Then, carefully transfer the cereal mixture into the bag.
-
Seal the bag tightly and shake it until all the cereal is evenly coated with powdered sugar. You may need to gently massage the bag to ensure even coverage.
-
Spread the Chex Muddy Buddies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to let them cool and set for about an hour.

Once the Muddy Buddies have set, transfer them to an airtight container or divide them into small gift bags for sharing. Enjoy your delicious homemade treat!
