The other day I had one of my best little helpers with me and we decided that we would like to make something good to eat!
My little helper was great at measuring and pouring the ingredients into the bowl. I love to have a little helper in the kitchen, don’t you?
We decided that these Halloween Muddy Buddies would hit the spot, what do you think? Do you want to make some too?
Halloween Muddy Buddies
White Muddy Buddies:
9 cups rice cereal (Chex)
1 cup white chocolate chips or chocolate melts
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Chocolate Muddy Buddies:
9 cups rice cereal squares
1 cup chocolate chips, (I used milk chocolate)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
Your choice of Halloween candy. (I used peanut butter M &M’s, candy corn and black and orange Sixlets.)
Directions:
Prepare two cookies sheets by lining them with waxed paper or parchment paper.
For the white Muddy Buddies:
Measure the cereal into a large bowl and set aside.
Measure the powdered sugar and pour into a large ziplock bag.
Put white chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter in a small microwave bowl and microwave until almost melted. Stir until smooth. Stir in the vanilla and then pour over the cereal. Stir until all the cereal is well coated. Pour the coated cereal into the ziplock bag with the powdered sugar. Shake to coat all the cereal pieces and then pour out onto one of the prepared cookie sheets. Spread out and let cool until chocolate is set.
For the chocolate Muddy Buddies:
Prepare the same as the white ones, substituting the chocolate chips for the white chocolate and adding the cocoa to the powdered sugar in the ziplock bag.
After the cereal is cooled, mix the two together and add your favorite candies. Enjoy!
Yum! Now don’t you want to make some Halloween Muddy Buddies? Of course these would be great for any holiday by simply substituting the candies!
Happy Tuesday! Love Ya!
