Instructions
- Step 1: Melt the Mixture - In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, smooth peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and completely melted. This should take about 1-2 minutes total.
- Step 2: Add Vanilla - Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated. The aroma of the vanilla will elevate your Muddy Buddies to a new level of deliciousness.
- Step 3: Combine with Cereal - In a large mixing bowl, add the Rice Chex cereal. Pour the melted mixture over the cereal and gently fold it in using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to crush the cereal; you want to maintain that delightful crunch!
- Step 4: Coat with Powdered Sugar - Once the cereal is well-coated, sprinkle the powdered sugar over the mixture. You can start with 1 1/2 cups and add more if you prefer a sweeter taste. Gently toss everything together until the cereal is evenly coated with the powdered sugar.
- Step 5: Add Fun Ingredients - Fold in the Lucky Charms marshmallows, white chocolate-covered pretzels, and green M&Ms. This is where the fun really begins! The marshmallows add a chewy texture, while the pretzels provide a salty crunch.
- Step 6: Cool and Serve - Spread the Muddy Buddies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow them to cool completely before serving. This not only helps them set but also makes them easier to snack on.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for better flavor.
- Ensure butter and peanut butter are at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh longer.
