Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (shaken) or 1/2 cup (sprinkled)
Wet Ingredients
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Measure out the Rice Krispies cereal, chocolate chips, peanut butter, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Melt Chocolate and Peanut Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter in 30-second intervals. Stir in between until the mixture is completely smooth and combined.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture. Stir thoroughly until the butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is even.
- Mix with Rice Krispies: Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the Rice Krispies cereal in a large mixing bowl. Gently fold the ingredients together until the cereal is evenly coated and no clumps remain.
- Spread and Cool: Transfer the coated cereal mixture onto a baking sheet or pan and spread it out evenly. Allow it to cool to room temperature and set firmly before proceeding.
- Add Powdered Sugar: Place the cooled bars into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake gently until the bars are coated evenly. Alternatively, sprinkle powdered sugar over the bars for a prettier presentation.
- Serve and Enjoy: Cut the Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies into squares and serve immediately or store for later enjoyment.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of powdered sugar to taste, either shaking more for a thicker coating or less for a lighter dusting.
- For easier handling, you can refrigerate the mixture briefly before cutting.
- Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture and smoothness.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- These treats are great for parties, lunchboxes, or as a quick snack.
