Method
 

Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies Instructions
  1. Begin by placing 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until it becomes smooth and glossy, taking around 1 to 2 minutes total.
  2. Once your chocolate-peanut butter mixture is smooth, stir in 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Continue to microwave for an additional 15 seconds if the butter doesn’t melt completely.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal. Pour the warm chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the cereal, gently fold the mixture until the Rice Krispies are evenly coated.
  4. Prepare a lined 9x13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the coated Rice Krispies mixture onto the sheet and allow to cool for about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Once the mixture is set, transfer it to a resealable bag along with 1 cup of powdered sugar. Seal the bag and shake vigorously until all pieces are evenly coated.
  6. Pull the set Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies from the baking sheet and cut them into squares or break them into bite-sized pieces.
