Instructions:

1. Melt the chocolate. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine almond bark (or chocolate chips), peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and melted.

2. Add vanilla. Stir in the vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.

3. Coat the cereal. Pour the melted mixture over the cereal in a large bowl. Gently stir until every piece is coated and glossy.

4. Add the sweetness. Transfer the coated cereal to a large zip bag or lidded container. Add the powdered sugar, seal, and shake until everything is covered and looks snowy white.

5. Cool and enjoy! Spread it out on wax paper to set, then dig in once cooled.

Tips for Perfect Muddy Buddies:

• Don’t overheat your chocolate — it melts fast! Stir often so it stays smooth and silky.

• Use Rice Chex for a light, classic crunch or Corn Chex for a slightly sweeter, toastier flavor.

• Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week — if they even last that long!

This recipe makes a smaller batch, but it’s easy to double or triple if you’re feeding a crowd. It’s one of those treats that disappears fast, especially when shared with friends and family.

GOD bless you, and happy snacking! 💕
