Ingredients
  

Ingredients:
  • 8 cups Chex cereal
  • 13 snack-size Kit Kat bars or 10 ounces of regular-sized Kit Kats
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cups powdered sugar divided

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Large zip-top bag or container

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Start by pouring the 8 cups of Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl. Make sure the cereal is evenly distributed to ensure every piece gets coated in that delicious chocolate mixture.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the 1 cup of milk chocolate chips and the 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Microwave in short bursts of 20 seconds, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  3. While the chocolate is melting, take your Kit Kat bars and crush them into smaller pieces. You can do this by placing them in a zip-top bag and gently smashing them with a rolling pin or your hands. Aim for a mix of smaller and larger pieces for added texture.
  4. Once the chocolate is melted, pour it over the Chex cereal. Use your spatula or wooden spoon to gently stir, ensuring every piece of cereal is coated in that luscious chocolate.
  5. Now, fold in the crushed Kit Kat pieces into the chocolate-coated Chex cereal mixture. Make sure they’re evenly distributed for that delightful bite of chocolate in every handful.
  6. Divide the 2 cups of powdered sugar into two portions. Take the first portion and add it to a large zip-top bag. Then, add the chocolate-coated Chex and Kit Kat mixture. Seal the bag and shake gently until everything is well-coated. Repeat with the second portion of powdered sugar.
  7. Spread the coated mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow it to cool and set for about 30 minutes. This will help the chocolate firm up and make it easier to serve.
  8. Once cooled, break apart any large clumps and transfer your Kit Kat Muddy Buddies to a serving bowl or store them in an airtight container. Enjoy this delectable treat with friends and family, or sneak a few bites for yourself!

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
  • Use gluten-free Chex cereal for a gluten-free option.
