Valentine’s Day Muddy Buddies
Looking for a tasty and oh-so-festive Valentine's Day recipe? Give this Valentine’s Day Muddy Buddies a try.
Ingredients
- 9 Cups of Chex Cereal
- 1 Cup of Chocolate Chips
- 1/2 Cup of Peanut Butter
- ¼ Cup of Butter I prefer unsalted
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
- 2 Cups Powdered Sugar
- ½ to 1 bag Valentine’s Day M&M'’s
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl place all your Chex cereal.
- In a medium sized pan, place chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter and melt over medium heat. Be sure to stir continuously. Once everything is close to melted, add your vanilla.
- Next pour mixture over the Chex cereal and mix together. The best way I have found to do this is to use a spatula to mix, and push the cereal down so everything gets mixed well.
- Place your powdered sugar into a large zip-lock baggie.
- Place covered cereal in large baggie with powdered sugar and shake until completely covered with powder sugar. Allow to cereal mixture to sit in baggie for 5 to 10 minutes and cool.
- Remove from the baggie and place in your large mixing bowl.
- I always shake bowl around for a few mintues. It helps all the extra powder sugar fall to the bottom of the bowl. Then place Muddy Buddies in serving dish, or storage baggie.
- Before placing it in a serving dish, I like to place it back into the large mixing bowl I was using and shake around the freshly powdered Muddy Buddies to make all extra powder sugar fall to the bottom of the bowl. Then I will move to the serving dish, or place in zip lock for storage.
