Description

Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies are a delightful twist on the classic Rice Krispies treats, coated with a creamy blend of chocolate, peanut butter, and butter, then dusted with powdered sugar for a sweet, crunchy snack that’s perfect for parties or an everyday treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (shaken) or 1/2 cup (sprinkled)

Wet Ingredients

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

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, until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Heating slowly helps prevent burning and ensures a creamy texture.
  2. Add Butter and Vanilla: Stir the unsalted butter and vanilla extract into the melted mixture until fully incorporated. This enriches the blend, making it silky and flavorful.
  3. Coat the Rice Krispies: Place the Rice Krispies cereal into a large mixing bowl. Gradually drizzle the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the cereal while folding gently to coat every piece evenly without crushing the cereal.
  4. Let It Cool: Spread the coated cereal mixture evenly on a lined baking sheet. Allow it to cool and set for 15-20 minutes. This step helps the coating firm up while maintaining the cereal’s crunch.
  5. Add the Powdered Sugar: Transfer the cooled mixture into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar and gently shake until the cereal pieces are dusted thoroughly. Alternatively, you can sprinkle the powdered sugar on top for a different texture.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Cut the Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies into squares and serve. These treats are great for sharing at parties or enjoying as a sweet snack any time.

Notes

  • Microwave the chocolate mixture in short bursts to avoid burning.
  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother coating.
  • Letting the mixture cool properly is essential for the perfect crunch.
  • Powdered sugar can be adjusted to taste—more for extra sweetness, less for a subtle finish.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
