Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (shaken) or 1/2 cup (sprinkled)

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate and Peanut Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each session until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. This gradual process prevents burning and ensures a creamy texture.
  2. Add Butter and Vanilla: Stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the melted mixture. The butter adds extra creaminess while vanilla enhances the flavor depth.
  3. Coat the Rice Krispies: Place the Rice Krispies cereal in a large mixing bowl, then slowly drizzle the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the cereal, folding gently to coat each piece evenly. Take care to cover all cereal without crushing it.
  4. Let It Cool: Spread the coated cereal mixture evenly onto a lined baking sheet and let it cool and set for 15-20 minutes. This step helps the coating firm up while keeping the cereal crunchy.
  5. Add the Powdered Sugar: Transfer the cooled mixture into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar and shake gently until the treats are evenly dusted. Alternatively, sprinkle the sugar over the bars for a lighter coating.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Cut the Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies into squares and serve. Ideal for parties, snacks, or anytime you want a sweet, crunchy treat.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother coating; crunchy peanut butter may affect texture.
  • The powdered sugar provides the signature dusty finish and sweetness, so don’t skip it.
  • Allow the treats to cool completely before adding powdered sugar to prevent clumping.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
