Muddy Buddy Chex Mix Recipe + Sam’s Club Gift Card Giveaway

Monday, December 19, 2011 by Lolli

I love to bake during the holidays, but I admit that candies and cookies take a lot of time and elbow grease to make….and I haven’t had much extra time on my hands this season. This weekend, I spent a few hours at the stove stirring caramel and English toffee, which I love, but boy do they take some effort.

Luckily, not everything good has to be a lot of work. In fact, Chex cereal has a whole collection of mouth-watering party-worthy recipes that take only 15 minutes or less to prepare. Two of my favorite treats are fancy Chex Mixes. I can attest that treats don’t have to be hard to make to be yummy.

Do you like Little Debbie’s Nutty Bars? KitKat found this delectable recipe last year, and when I popped some into my mouth and I was instantly reminded of those Little Debbie’s treats. So yummy!

Chex Mix Muddy Buddy Recipe

Ingredients:

9 cups Corn Chex, cereal (or other Chex flavor)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Substitution:
Peanut butter and chocolate are a favorite flavor combo, but peanut butter lovers can substitute peanut butter chips for the chocolate chips to intensify that flavor.

Process:

1. Into large bowl, measure cereal; set aside.

2. In 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter uncovered on High 1 minute; stir. Microwave about 30 seconds longer or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Stir in vanilla. Pour mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated. Pour into 2-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag.

3. Add powdered sugar. Seal bag; shake until well coated. Spread on waxed paper to cool. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
