Muddy Buddies

It's General Conference Weekend and some snackage is always good to keep the kids happy. Kathryn recently discovered Chex® Muddy Buddies, so that's what we made tonight.


Chex® Muddy Buddies

9 cups Corn Chex®, Rice Chex®, Wheat Chex® or Chocolate Chex® cereal (or combination) (Our combination is just Corn and Rice Chex®)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter or margarine (BUTTER!)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

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. (2-gallon bags? Who's got 2-gallon bags? We have 1-gallon bags and do this in two batches.)

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

18 servings (1/2 cup each)
