Ingredients

Instructions

Add your chocolate and peanut butter to a microwave safe mixing bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted.
Add the chocolate mixture to a large mixing bowl, if necessary, and add the ritz crackers. Fold the ingredients together until the ritz are evenly coated.
Toss the crackers in the powdered sugar until fully coated.
Allow them rest on the counter for about 30 minutes so the chocolate has a chance to set up a little bit. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Thicker Coating: You can add more powdered sugar if you want a thicker coating on your muddy buddies. 1 cup will still leave chocolate exposed and 2 cups will create a thick coating. At home I use 1 ½ cups and find it the perfect amount.
Use low heat for melting: Prevents chocolate from seizing or burning
Stir between intervals: Creates smooth chocolate mixture
Toss gently: Keeps crackers from breaking apart
Use a large mixing bowl: Makes coating easier and more even
Let chocolate cool slightly: Prevents powdered sugar from melting
Add powdered sugar in batches: Ensures full coverage
Use fresh crackers: Keeps texture crisp and crunchy
Avoid humid environments: Prevents stickiness
Store airtight: Keeps mix fresh and crisp longer
Serve fresh: Best flavor and crunch
