Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with this festive Muddy Buddies recipe, featuring a delightful blend of crispy Rice Chex cereal coated in a luscious white chocolate and peanut butter mixture, then dusted with powdered sugar and sprinkled with colorful green candies and Lucky Charms marshmallows for a fun and tasty treat.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 cups Rice Chex® cereal
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup green candy-coated chocolate candies
  • 1/4 cup Lucky Charms Marshmallows

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coating Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
  2. Coat the Cereal: Place the Rice Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted white chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the cereal and gently stir with a spatula to evenly coat every piece without crushing.
  3. Add Powdered Sugar: Transfer the coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag or a container with a lid. Add the powdered sugar, seal tightly, and shake vigorously to ensure each piece is thoroughly dusted.
  4. Mix in Toppings: Remove the cereal from the bag and spread it out on a large baking sheet or tray to cool and set. Once set, sprinkle the green candy-coated chocolate candies and Lucky Charms marshmallows on top, gently mixing them in for a festive touch.
  5. Serve or Store: Allow the Muddy Buddies to cool completely. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, toast the Rice Chex cereal lightly in a dry skillet before coating.
  • Use festive sprinkles or other holiday-themed candies to customize the recipe to your preference.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep the treats fresh and crunchy for several days.
  • Adjust the quantity of peanut butter and white chocolate for a thicker or thinner coating based on your taste.
