Muddy Buddies

One of my family's favorite treats is muddy buddies, which is a delicious mixture of chocolatey, powdered-sugary goodness and crunchy cereal that is by no means healthy but will melt your taste buds with its amazing-ness. 

That was a long definition for a very sismple dessert!

You can make muddy buddies at home without a HUGE mess, although be prepared to wash some dishes! This recipe makes 18 servings (a serving being 1/2 cup) and takes 10--5 minutes.

-9 cups of Rice Chex cereal

-1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips

-1/2 cup of peanut butter

-1/4 cup of butter

-1 teaspoon of vanilla

-1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar

-1 large bowl

-1 microwaveable bowl

-a spoon

-a large Ziploc bag

What to do: 

-Put 9 cups of Rice Chex cereal into a large bowl and set aside. 

-Microwave your chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter (uncovered) for 1 minute and stir. Microwave for 30 more seconds or until smooth. Stir in vanilla. 

-Pour mixture over cereal and stir until it is evenly coated. Pour into Ziploc bag. 

-Pour powdered sugar into the bag. Seal bag and shake vigorously. 

-Let it cool and put it into a container.

Smiles and happy eating,
