Ingredients

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
5 cups rice Chex cereal or Corn Chex or Crispix cereal
1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
1 cup peanut butter chips
1 cup mini Reese’s peanut butter cups
1 ¼ cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

Melt your chocolate chips in a large mixing bowl in the microwave. Melt them for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each interval.
Add the rice Chex to the mixing bowl. Carefully fold the cereal and chocolate together until the cereal is evenly coated.
Toss the chocolate covered cereal in the powdered sugar. Once the cereal is coated in powdered sugar I recommend chilling these muddy buddies in the fridge for about 30 minutes to help cool the melted chocolate and prevent melting of other mix-ins.
Gently fold in the peanut butter chips, peanut butter cups and marshmallows. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Store properly: Keep muddy buddies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. They're perfect for making ahead.
Perfect the coating: Melt the chocolate slowly, stirring every 30 seconds, then gently fold in the cereal until evenly coated without crushing it. Allow the chocolate to cool slightly before adding the powdered sugar for the best coverage.
Add mix-ins at the right time: Chill the coated cereal for about 30 minutes before adding the peanut butter cups, peanut butter chips, and marshmallows. This helps prevent the mix-ins from melting and becoming messy.
Keep it crunchy: Use fresh Chex cereal and store the muddy buddies in an airtight container to maintain their crisp texture.
Customize and share: Add your favorite candies, nuts, pretzels, or sprinkles, and consider making a double batch because this sweet snack disappears quickly.
