Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 cups Chex Rice or Corn Cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • Red food coloring (a few drops)
  • Optional: pink or red sprinkles for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  2. Stir in vanilla extract and a few drops of red food coloring until the mixture turns a festive pink.
  3. Place the cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently stir until evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag. Add powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake until the cereal is well coated.
  5. Spread the coated Muddy Buddies on wax paper to cool and dry for about 15 minutes.
  6. Optional: Sprinkle with pink or red sprinkles for extra Valentine’s flair before serving.

Notes

For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or omit it entirely. Store in an airtight container to keep crispy.
