Muddy Buddies

In an extra large bowl, empty the entire box of Rice Chex. Set aside.

In a microwave safe bowl, add the butter, peanut butter and chocolate chips. Microwave in 20-second increments, stopping to stir the mixture each time. Microwave until all the ingredients have fully melted together (approximately 90-120 seconds). Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir in the vanilla extract into the peanut butter-chocolate mixture.

Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the Rice Chex, stirring the mixture gently as you pour, to ensure the chocolate-peanut butter coats all the pieces of Rice Chex. Continue this method until you have poured the entire chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the cereal. Add your desired add-in’s.

Sprinkle one cup of powdered sugar over the chocolate coated cereal, stirring to coat the cereal. Continue adding the powder sugar, one cup at a time, to the coated cereal, stirring to ensure the cereal is coated in a heavy amount of powdered sugar.

Let Muddy Buddies cool completely before storing.
