Description
There’s a reason Muddy Buddies, also known as Puppy Chow, have stood the test of time. With crisp Chex cereal coated in warm melted chocolate, creamy peanut butter, and finished with a sweet powdered sugar blanket, every bite is the perfect balance of crunch and melt-in-your-mouth magic. It’s fast, fun, and dangerously easy to keep reaching for more—just the way a party snack should be.
Ingredients
9 cups Rice Chex or Corn Chex cereal
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup creamy peanut butter
¼ cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups powdered sugar
Optional twist:
½ teaspoon espresso powder to deepen the chocolate flavor
Add mini pretzels or roasted peanuts for crunch variation
Swap semisweet for milk or dark chocolate to suit your taste
Instructions
In a large bowl, measure out the Chex cereal and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the Chex and gently fold until evenly coated.
Transfer coated cereal to a large zip-top bag. Add powdered sugar, seal, and shake until all pieces are well coated.
Spread out on a baking sheet to cool and set for 10 minutes before serving.
