Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 cup cookie butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Prepare a large mixing bowl and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for cooling the finished Muddy Buddies.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cookie butter, chocolate chips, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth and fully melted.
- Pour the Rice Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl, ensuring there's enough room to stir and coat the cereal evenly.
- Carefully pour the melted cookie butter and chocolate mixture over the cereal, using a spatula to gently fold and coat each piece of cereal completely.
- Transfer the powdered sugar to a large zip-top plastic bag or a sealable container with a tight-fitting lid.
- Add the chocolate-coated cereal to the bag or container with powdered sugar, seal tightly, and shake vigorously until every piece is evenly coated with powdered sugar.
- Spread the coated Muddy Buddies onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, allowing them to cool and set for about 10 minutes.
- Once cooled, transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Choose the Right Cookie Butter: Opt for a high-quality cookie butter to enhance the flavor of your Muddy Buddies. Brands like Biscoff or Trader Joe's are popular choices that add a rich, caramel-like taste.
- Microwave with Care: When melting the cookie butter, chocolate chips, and butter, be sure to stir after each 30-second interval to prevent burning. The mixture should be smooth and glossy when done.
- Coat Evenly: For the best results, gently fold the cereal with the melted mixture to ensure every piece is evenly coated. This will enhance the flavor and texture of your Muddy Buddies.
- Shake It Up: When adding the chocolate-coated cereal to the powdered sugar, make sure to seal the bag tightly and shake vigorously. This ensures that every piece gets a generous coating of sweetness.
- Cooling Time: Allow the Muddy Buddies to cool on the parchment-lined baking sheet for at least 10 minutes. This helps them set and makes them easier to handle when serving.
- Storage: Keep your Cookie Butter Muddy Buddies fresh by storing them in an airtight container. They can last up to 5 days, but trust us, they won’t last that long!
