Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies is a delightful twist on the classic Rice Krispies treat, combining crispy cereal with a rich blend of melted chocolate, creamy peanut butter, and a buttery vanilla infusion. Coated generously with powdered sugar for an irresistible sweet crunch, this snack is perfect for parties, celebrations, or an indulgent treat anytime.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mixture

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

Cereal

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Coating

  • 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 ensures the mixture doesn’t burn and achieves a perfect consistency.
  2. Add Butter and Vanilla: Stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract into the melted mixture, creating a creamy and flavorful coating base.
  3. Coat the Rice Krispies: Pour the Rice Krispies cereal into a large mixing bowl. Slowly drizzle the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the cereal, folding gently to ensure every piece is thoroughly coated without breaking the cereal.
  4. Let It Cool: Spread the coated cereal mixture evenly on a lined baking sheet. Allow it to cool and set for about 15-20 minutes so that it firms up while keeping the crispness intact.
  5. Add the Powdered Sugar: Transfer the cooled, coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar and gently shake the bag until all pieces are dusted in the sugary coating, which provides the signature Muddy Buddy appearance and taste.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Cut into squares if desired and serve immediately. This snack is a perfect sweet treat for any occasion.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest coating—chunky peanut butter may not blend as well.
  • Microwave in short intervals to avoid burning the chocolate mixture.
  • Let the coated cereal cool sufficiently before adding powdered sugar to keep it from becoming soggy.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
  • For a gluten-free version, ensure Rice Krispies cereal is labeled gluten-free.
