Christmas Muddy Buddies - Deliciously Seasoned Now, let’s gather up the ingredients. You won’t need much, just a few key items to make this delight:

Ingredients:

9 cups of Rice Chex cereal
1 cup of chocolate chips
½ cup of creamy peanut butter
½ cup of butter
1 cup of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Optional: festive sprinkles or candy canes for extra crunch and fun!

Alright, now that we’ve got everything we need, let’s get to the good part – making these Muddy Buddies!

Instructions:

Start by placing the Rice Chex cereal in a large bowl. Set it aside for now.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, peanut butter, and chocolate chips together. Stir it up until everything is nice and smooth. Don’t rush this part; let it get all creamy!
Once it’s melted and combined, take it off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the warm mixture over the Rice Chex cereal. Make sure every piece gets a good coating. Use a spatula to gently mix it all together.
Next, in a large zip-top bag, add the powdered sugar. Once your cereal mix is all coated and looking good, transfer it into the bag with the powdered sugar.
Seal the bag and shake it like there’s no tomorrow. You want all that sugar to stick to your Muddy Buddies!
Last but not least, spread your Muddy Buddies out on a baking sheet to cool, and if you’re feeling extra festive, sprinkle some of those sprinkles or crushed candy canes on top.

And there you have it, y’all! A deliciously sweet and crunchy treat that’s perfect for this time of year. These Christmas Muddy Buddies are best enjoyed with friends and family, so make sure to share the love. Enjoy every bite!
