Ingredients
  

For the Treats
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal Substitute with Chex cereal or cornflakes for a different crunch.
  • 1 cup Chocolate chips Consider dark chocolate for a less sweet option.
  • 1 cup Creamy peanut butter Almond butter or sunflower seed butter are great alternatives.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter Can be omitted if using a higher-fat peanut butter.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Opt for high-quality vanilla for the best taste.
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar Adjust to taste for a lighter sweetness.

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Spatula
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Lined baking sheet
  • resealable bag

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth—about 1 to 2 minutes in total.
  2. Stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Aim for a creamy texture.
  3. Pour Rice Krispies cereal into a large bowl. Drizzle the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal and fold gently to coat.
  4. Spread the mixture onto a lined baking sheet and smooth it out. Allow to cool and set for 15 to 20 minutes.
  5. Transfer to a resealable bag, add powdered sugar, seal, and shake to coat evenly, or sprinkle directly on top before cutting.
  6. Cut into squares or break into pieces to serve. Enjoy your Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies!
