Chex Muddy Buddies Recipe

A friends wife made this for a Cub Scout den meeting and it was a huge hit! She calls it Christmas Crack because she only makes it during the holidays and you can't get enough of the stuff, lol.

Easy and good. I will do a 50/50 mix of semi-sweet and milk chocolate next time. I like it sweet!! I made a 1.5x batch, and I used a 1000 watt microwave. I only needed to microwave 15 seconds the second time before everything was smooth. I used a rubber scraper to stir the chocolate and chex together, carefully folding it in so as not to crush the cereal. Keep on stirring until the cereal is coated evenly with chocolate. Just like we did when I was a kid, we dumped the powdered sugar into a paper grocery bag and added the cereal to that. We then took the bag outside and shook, shook, shook it. A little powdered sugar leaks out of the seams of the bag, so that is why we do it outside. Perfect. Will go great with my son's 1st "puppy-themed" birthday party :)

This recipe definitely needs more chocolate and peanut butter. I used 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 3/4 cup of peanut butter and it was enough to cover the cereal completely. Letting them cool on a lined pan before coating them with sugar was much easier than it would have been with them warm.

Delicious stuff! I think I used more confectioners sugar than the recipe called for to fully coat the cereal. I found it easy to melt the ingredients in a slow cooker and mix with the cereal in there, but it is tricky to mix well if you dump all the cereal in at once- it's easier to start with a few cups, mix, then add more until it's all coated well.

This is so easy and yummy! And versatile! I used butterscotch chips with the peanut butter mixture and poured over half of the cereal. I melted chocolate and poured over the other half. I first made this over Christmas break and divided the cereal into thirds and used white chocolate, chocolate, and peanut butter chips. Will definitely be a making again! I had no problems using the microwave method- ran microwave in 30 second intervals and attempted to stir after each time until melted.

My family loves this. One item I change is that I put cereal in a large bowl with a lid... then I don't have to waste a plastic storage bag each time. Just pour the chocolate/peanut butter mixture over cereal as indicated, then add powdered sugar. Put the lid on the bowl and spin it over several times (don't shake to hard, but a little shaking okay). Enjoyable and environmentally responsible.

I have made this recipe before with my grandma so wasn't for sure the actual recipe but I looove this, nobody can ever get enough. My niece and nephew call it candy. I didn't change anything other than I had bark chocolate instead of chocolate chips and it still worked perfectly. I also dnt put it in the microwave because I hate baking or melting chocolate in the microwave because it goes bad quickly! So I just added all the ingredients Into a pan and melt it on low heat.

I have made this several times. I double it cause it is a huge favorite. Note !!! I do not use a microwave. I use a 2qt sauce pan with water and a stainless steel mixing bowl. making a double boiler. This, in my opinion is the best way. I do add more peanut butter and butter because I love peanut butter. Add more butter to thin it out a bit. better coverage.

I made a larger batch, added pretzels, walnuts, cheerios and m and m’s, used full bag of chocolate chips, extra peanut butter and needed more powdered sugar. Turkey roaster great idea to mix! Delicious!

Been making this recipe for years, but we call it "puppy chow". I double the powdered sugar to make it look more like the stock photo. Also keeps the mix less messy with the chocolate. If you don't have a large ziploc bag on hand, a couple clean plastic grocery bags work too, just make sure to double them up and tie well! If the mix looks to chocolatey after the first toss in the sugar, add more and repeat the process.

Great recipe. Been a while since I’ve made it. I like to add peanuts and or mini pretzels for a nice crunch!

I added, 1/2 tsp of salt, almond extract and vanilla extract. It tasted amazing. Used sugar free peanut butter and semi sweet chips and it was still sweet enough for me.

Made this for my kids — they were obsessed!

I substituted 3 cups broken up pieces of pretzels for the chocolate chex.. Turned out great ! Very easy recipe to follow.

Buddies is the best snack especially for a group all healthy, have tried Butterscotch chips also great it is additictive

If you have anyone that has nut allergies, substitute sunflower butter.

I have switched out some of the Rice and Corn Chex for the Peanut Butter Chex. So Yummy.

This will please your family. Just follow the instructions in add lots of mini marshmallows to it in M&M to it to add some more flavor to it.

Followed the main directions, but added peanut m&m’s and mini marshmallows after cooling

Addictive! I've made it with butterscotch chips too. Both very good. I put it in a big roast pan to add & stir the powdered sugar. Easier than shaking in a bag.
