Lucky Chocolate Muddy Buddies
Chocolate covered cereal, marshmallows cereal, creamy peanut butter, and powdered sugar turn into a sweet treat everyone can enjoy.
Ingredients
- 12 ounce Bag of Original Check Mix
- 10 ounce Chocolate Melts
- 1 ounce Green Candy Melts
- ½ cup Peanut Butter
- ½ cup Cocoa Powder
- ½ cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Marshmallow Cereal
- Gold Coin Sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Mix together the powered sugar and cocoa powder in a large Ziplock bag. Set it aside for later.
- Microwave the chocolate melts until the mixture is easy to stir. Add in the peanut butter and stir until both are combined. You may have to microwave the mixture a few more seconds.
- Add in the vanilla extract.
- Place the Chex cereal into a large bowl. Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the Chex mix. Carefully stir the mixture together with a spatula.
- Pour the covered Chex mix into the Ziplock bag with the cocoa powder and powdered sugar in it.
- Close the bag and shake to get the Chex Mix well coated.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Spread out the chocolate muddy buddies on it.
- In a small bowl, melt the green chocolate candies. Drizzle the candy over the Chex mixture in a zig zag pattern.
- Sprinkle the marshmallow cereal and gold coin sprinkles all over the muddy buddies.
- Let it dry and serve.
Notes
- Instead of chocolate candy melts you can use chocolate chips. There’s no exact measurement so just melt a few at time until you get enough to cover the Chex Mix.
- You can substitute the Lucky Charms cereal for any other cereal with marshmallows in it.
- We use creamy peanut butter in this recipe but if you want to mix it up you can use crunchy peanut butter.
- When you’re stirring the peanut butter chocolate mixture with the Chex Mix, do so carefully. Pieces will break but if you go carefully you’ll still have some pieces that won’t.
- I always like to melt the chocolate first and then fold in the peanut butter. It makes it easier to combine.
- To Store: Once the muddy buddies are dry, you can store in an airtight contain or Ziplock bag. I typically don’t keep it for longer than 5 days but it never lasts that long!
