Chex Mix-ish Muddy Buddy Recipe

As I have stated before, I cook and have never been able to follow a recipe well enough to bake anything. Below is the original recipe for Chex Muddy Buddies. 

Gluten Free Chex™ Muddy Buddies™

This classic chocolate, peanut butter and powdered sugar Chex Mix recipe has been a beloved part of families’ kitchens for years. Transform Chex™ cereal into a delicious treat in just 15 minutes. We call it Muddy Buddies™, but you may know it as Puppy Chow.

1/4 cup butter or margarine

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Microwave about 30 seconds longer or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Stir in vanilla. Pour mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated. Pour into 2-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag.Add powdered sugar. Seal bag; shake until well coated. Spread on waxed paper to cool. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.

Can't Leave Well Enough Alone

That is how they make them. That is mostly how I made them, though I think I will add some peppermint flavoring next time... it's a curse really ☺️ I followed the recipe except when it came time to put the powdered sugar on. 

I placed mine on wax paper. 

Spread it out as much as possible... very difficult at first. Poured the powdered sugar on! As I mixed them up they got dusted and broke apart.

I used more powdered sugar this way & next time I make these I will probably use a colander to get the powdered sugar off before putting them up.

The recipe is wonderful and the Chex site has easily 20 others that look just as good. I will be attempting the Lemon recipe next 😉
