Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies (Print)

Crispy cereal treats coated with chocolate-peanut butter mixture and dusted with powdered sugar for a delightful sweet snack.

# Ingredients:

01 - 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
02 - 2 cups chocolate chips
03 - 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
04 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

# Directions:

01 - Measure out the Rice Krispies cereal, chocolate chips, peanut butter, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract.
02 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
03 - Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture. Stir until well combined.
04 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Krispies cereal with the chocolate-peanut butter mixture. Gently fold until the cereal is evenly coated.
05 - Spread the coated cereal mixture onto a baking sheet or into a pan. Allow it to cool and set before cutting into squares.
06 - Transfer the cooled bars into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar to the bag, seal it, and gently shake to coat the cereal bars with sugar. Alternatively, you can lightly dust the bars with powdered sugar for presentation.
07 - Cut the Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies into squares and serve.

# Notes:

01 - For a prettier presentation, try lightly dusting the bars with powdered sugar instead of fully coating them.
