Ingredients

• 9 cups Crispix cereal
• 2 cups chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1 box (approximately 3 1/2 cups) confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crispix Cereal:

   • Measure out the Crispix cereal into a very large bowl, ensuring there’s enough space to toss the cereal evenly later.

2. Melt the Chocolate:

   • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips either in a double boiler or in the microwave until smooth and creamy.

3. Mix in Peanut Butter:

   • Add the peanut butter to the melted chocolate and stir well until fully combined.

4. Coat the Cereal:

   • Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the Crispix cereal in the large bowl.

5. Toss to Coat:

   • Gently toss the cereal with the chocolate-peanut butter mixture until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated.

6. Coat with Confectioners’ Sugar:

   • Using a gallon-size freezer bag, place about 1/3 of the box of confectioners’ sugar in the bottom.
   • Add half of the chocolate-coated cereal mixture into the bag.
   • Toss the cereal in the bag until evenly coated with confectioners’ sugar.
   • Add the remaining cereal mixture and top with another 1/3 of the box of confectioners’ sugar.
   • Toss again until all the cereal is coated in the sugar, adding more as needed until desired coverage is achieved.

7. Serve:

   • Once the cereal is evenly coated, transfer the Muddy Buddies to a serving bowl or store in an airtight container until ready to enjoy.

8. Enjoy!
