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 slowly ensures a smooth texture without burning.
  2. Add Butter and Vanilla: Stir the unsalted butter and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture to add creaminess and depth of flavor.
  3. Coat the Rice Krispies: Place the Rice Krispies cereal in a large mixing bowl. Gradually drizzle the chocolate mixture over the cereal, folding gently to evenly coat every piece without crushing the cereal.
  4. Let It Cool: Spread the coated cereal onto a lined baking sheet. Allow it to cool and set for 15-20 minutes so the coating firms up and the cereal stays crunchy.
  5. Add the Powdered Sugar: Transfer the cooled, coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar and shake gently until the cereal pieces are well dusted, giving the snack its trademark muddy appearance. Alternatively, you can sprinkle the sugar over the mixture.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Cut the Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies into squares and serve. They make a perfect sweet snack for any occasion.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth coating; natural peanut butter may alter texture.
  • Microwave in short intervals to prevent burning the chocolate-peanut butter mixture.
  • Allow proper cooling time to maintain the cereal’s crunch.
  • Powdered sugar can be adjusted depending on how sweet and dusty you want the final product.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
