Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted (or 1/2 cup for a light sprinkle)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure out the Rice Krispies cereal, chocolate chips, peanut butter, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract so they are ready to use.
  2. Melt the Chocolate and Peanut Butter: Place the chocolate chips and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine with Butter and Vanilla: Stir the unsalted butter and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate and peanut butter until fully incorporated and homogeneous.
  4. Coat the Cereal: Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the Rice Krispies cereal in a large mixing bowl, gently folding the cereal until it is evenly coated with the mixture.
  5. Spread and Cool: Transfer the coated cereal to a baking sheet or pan, spreading it out evenly. Allow it to cool completely to let the coating set and firm up.
  6. Add the Finishing Touch: Once fully cooled, place the bars into a large resealable bag with the sifted powdered sugar. Seal the bag and shake gently to coat all the bars evenly. For a neater appearance, you can dust the bars lightly with powdered sugar instead of shaking them in the bag.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies into squares and serve. Enjoy the perfect combination of crunchy cereal and sweet, chocolatey peanut butter coating.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth coating; chunky can be used for added texture.
  • Allow the bars to fully cool before adding powdered sugar to prevent clumping.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • Microwave times may vary depending on wattage; adjust accordingly when melting chocolate and peanut butter.
  • For a lighter dusting, reduce the powdered sugar to 1/2 cup.
