Muddy Buddy Rice Krispies is a delicious, no-bake treat combining crispy Rice Krispies cereal coated in a rich, creamy mixture of melted chocolate, peanut butter, butter, and vanilla, then generously dusted with powdered sugar for a perfect blend of sweet and crunchy flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, shaken (or 1/2 cup, sprinkled)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Measure out the Rice Krispies cereal, chocolate chips, peanut butter, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract to have everything ready for smooth mixing.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Peanut Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture, stirring thoroughly until the mixture is uniform and glossy.
  4. Mix with Rice Krispies: Place the Rice Krispies cereal in a large mixing bowl and gently fold in the chocolate-peanut butter mixture until the cereal is evenly coated without crushing it.
  5. Spread and Cool: Spread the coated cereal mixture evenly onto a baking sheet or pan, then allow it to cool and set completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  6. Add Powdered Sugar: Once cooled, transfer the bars into a large resealable plastic bag, add the powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake gently to coat all pieces evenly. Alternatively, lightly dust the bars with powdered sugar for a more decorative look.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Cut the coated Rice Krispies mixture into squares and serve immediately to enjoy the delightful textures and sweet flavors.

Notes

  • For best results, use creamy peanut butter for smooth melting and coating.
  • You can customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of powdered sugar used for dusting.
  • These treats can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Use a non-stick spray or parchment paper on the baking sheet for easier cleanup.
  • To make these nut-free, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
