Ingredients
- 9 cups Chex cereal (rice, corn, or wheat)

- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup dry roasted peanuts
How to Make Nutty Muddy Buddies
Step 1: Prepare the Chex Cereal – Start by measuring out 9 cups of your chosen Chex cereal – whether it’s rice, corn, wheat, or a mixture. Place it in a large mixing bowl and add roasted peanuts. Set cereal and nut mixture aside for later.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate Mixture – In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate to prevent it from burning.
Step 3: Add Vanilla – Once the chocolate mixture is melted and smooth, stir in the vanilla extract. This will enhance the flavor profile of the Nutty Muddy Buddies and add a hint of sweetness to the mix.
Step 4: Coat the Chex Cereal – Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the Chex cereal and nuts in the large mixing bowl. Gently toss and stir until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated with the chocolate-peanut butter mixture. Take care to coat each piece thoroughly for maximum flavor.
Step 5: Add the Powdered Sugar – In a gallon sized (or larger) plastic bag, add the powdered sugar. Transfer the chocolate-coated Chex cereal into the bag in batches. Seal the bag tightly and shake vigorously until all the cereal pieces are coated with the powdered sugar. Continue to add cereal until it has all been added.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy! – Spread the finished Nutty Muddy Buddies onto wax paper and allow to cool. Enjoy them after the chocolate has cooled, if you can resist. Store any uneaten Nutty Muddy Buddies in an airtight container for later snacking. Whether you’re serving them at a party, enjoying them as a movie night snack, or simply satisfying your sweet cravings, these Nutty Muddy Buddies are sure to be a hit!
