Ingredients

Scale

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, sifted (or 1/2 cup for a light sprinkle)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure out the Rice Krispies cereal, chocolate chips, peanut butter, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract to have everything ready for a smooth cooking process.
  2. Melt the Chocolate and Peanut Butter: Place the chocolate chips and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine with Butter and Vanilla: Stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture until fully blended and glossy.
  4. Coat the Cereal: Pour the warm chocolate mixture over the Rice Krispies cereal in a large mixing bowl and gently fold the ingredients together until the cereal is evenly coated with the mixture.
  5. Spread and Cool: Transfer the coated cereal mixture onto a baking sheet or into a pan, spreading it evenly. Let it cool completely at room temperature to allow the coating to set.
  6. Add the Finishing Touch: Once fully cooled and set, place the bars into a large resealable bag. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake gently to coat every piece. Alternatively, lightly dust the bars with powdered sugar for a neater presentation.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies into squares and enjoy the delicious combination of crunchy cereal and sweet, creamy coating.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest texture; natural peanut butter may alter consistency.
  • Microwave in short intervals to prevent burning the chocolate.
  • If a lighter coating is preferred, use only 1/2 cup of powdered sugar for dusting.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • Optional: Add chopped nuts or mini marshmallows for additional texture and flavor.
