Description
Muddy Buddies, also known as Puppy Chow, are small, crunchy squares coated in a rich mixture of chocolate and peanut butter, dusted with powdered sugar, making for a nostalgic and delicious snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine your chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is melted and smooth—about 1-1.5 minutes.
- Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
- In a large bowl, pour the melted mixture over the Rice Chex cereal. Stir gently until all the cereal is evenly coated.
- Place the powdered sugar in a large resealable plastic bag. Add the coated cereal and shake vigorously until well coated.
- Spread the coated cereal onto a baking sheet and allow it to cool for about 30 minutes.
Notes
Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
