Ingredients needed to make this recipe:

• 4 cups Chex cereal (rice or corn)
• ½ cup chocolate chips
• ⅓ cup peanut butter
• 2 tbsp butter
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ¾ cup powdered sugar

How to make this Muddy Buddy recipe:

Add the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter to a medium sauce pan. Cook over medium-low heat until the consistency is runny. 

When the peanut butter and chocolate have fully melted, then add in your vanilla extract. Give it a good stir and then remove it from the heat. 

Add the Chex cereal to a large mixing bowl. Then, pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the top of this cereal. Stir until all the chex squares are nice and coated.

This coating will be what the powdered sugar sticks to in the next step.

Place the chocolate and peanut butter covered chex cereal into a large ziplock bag. Then, add in the powdered sugar. Close the zipper, and then shake your bag. The goal is to get all the puppy chow evenly dusted with powdered sugar. 

Then, dump the muddy buddies into a fun serving dish and enjoy! Cover any leftovers with plastic wrap or place it back in the ziplock bag.
