Ingredients
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
2 cups chocolate chips
½ cup creamy peanut butter
¼ cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups powdered sugar
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Wedge the ingredients: Before beginning, measure out all of the necessary ingredients so the process runs smoothly.
- Melting Chocolate-Peanut Butter Mixture In a microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter and chocolate chips before heating in 30-second intervals while stirring, until everything has melted smoothly and completely (this typically takes 1-1.5 minutes). Next add unsalted butter and vanilla extract and mix again until everything has blended completely before adding additional unsalted butter and extract as needed to complete this step.
- Rice Krispies: To decorate with Rice Krispies cereal, place in a large mixing bowl. Pour your chocolate-peanut butter sauce on it, and gently fold until all pieces have been evenly covered by it – taking care not to smash your Rice Krispies along the way!
- Distribute and Set: Cool and Set Distribute the coated Rice Krispies mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Allow it to fully cool before placing it into the refrigerator so the chocolate mixture can set and harden into hard, hard pieces.
- Add Powdered Sugar: Once your mixture has cooled down, transfer it to an enormous plastic bag that can be sealed. Sprinkle sugar powder evenly into the bag before sealing and shaking it vigorously until every piece of cereal has been covered in sugar.
- After coating, Muddy Bud Rice Krispies are ready for serving! Cut them into squares or break into bite-size pieces before plating for easy consumption.
Tips for Perfect Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies
- By folding and mixing carefully and thoroughly, be sure to get an even coat of chocolate on every piece of cereal – this ensures a delicious result every time!
- Allow the cereal to fully cool before adding powdered sugar, to prevent clumps.
- Fresh Rice Krispies offer maximum crunch. Stale cereal may alter its texture and spoil your dessert experience.
- Alternate: For a non-nut alternative, sunflower or almond butter could make an excellent change. Alternately, try changing up the chocolate – try white or dark for something different!
Storing and Serving
Muddy Bud Rice Krispies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for three days at least before refrigerating or freezing them, whereby three months should elapse until being consumed fresh for optimal crisp and crunch texture.
