Instructions

• Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients. Gather all your ingredients and measure them out. This ensures you have everything ready to go, making the process smoother.
• Step 2: Melt the Chocolate Mixture. In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips (or almond bark), peanut butter, and butter. Heat them in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until fully melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract once melted.
• Step 3: Combine with Cereal. In a large mixing bowl, add the Rice Chex cereal. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently fold until all the cereal pieces are coated evenly.
• Step 4: Add the Extras. Once the cereal is coated, gently fold in the Lucky Charms marshmallows and white chocolate covered pretzels. This adds a delightful twist and extra flavor to your Muddy Buddies.
• Step 5: Coat with Powdered Sugar. Transfer the coated cereal mixture into a large zip-top bag. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake until all the cereal is evenly coated. You can adjust the amount of powdered sugar based on your sweetness preference.
• Step 6: Cool and Add M&Ms. Spread the Muddy Buddies onto a lined baking sheet to cool. Once cooled, sprinkle the green M&Ms over the top for a pop of color and extra sweetness.
• Step 7: Serve and Enjoy! Once the Muddy Buddies have cooled completely, serve them in a bowl or package them into cute bags for sharing, and enjoy your delightful creation!
