Muddy Buddies
Um, how I have not ever posted a Chex Mix or Muddy Buddy recipe on my site? I just realized that as I was looking for similar recipes I have posted in the past. I really have no other recipes like this one on here. How have I overlooked this very important food group? It’s not like I’m not making it at home. I guess I just never thought to actually take some photos when I made it. Well, the drought is over. I am finally sharing a delicious Muddy Buddy (or ‘Trash’ as my Mom used to call it back in the day) recipe on the The Country Cook.
Valentine’s Day Chex Mix fun
This particular recipe is going to use peanut butter and white chocolate before we coat the Chex in powdered sugar. However, you could go with the classic semi-sweet chocolate chips if you like. This is one of my favorite combos of flavor though.
What you add in is totally up to you. I love the Valentine’s Day edition M&M’s as well as pink and red sprinkles and a small handful of mini chocolate chips. I didn’t put a measurement for those because I figured you could throw in as much or as little as you like. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love this stuff. A fun gift for the kiddos too!
Ingredients:
2 cups Chex cereal
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
½ stick salted butter
⅓ cup powdered sugar
sprinkles
mini chocolate chips
M&M’s
Directions:
Melt chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter together in the microwave for around 45 seconds or until warm and liquid.
Combine cereal and white chocolate mixture in a large mixing bowl, and turn gently until evenly coated.
Put half of your snack mix in a large zip top bag with powdered sugar, seal, and shake. Set aside. With the remaining half, mix in M&M’s and sprinkles. Pour both halves together onto a large baking sheet or in a large bowl, toss slightly to blend, and serve as desired.
Then dig in and enjoy!
Enjoy!

Is 2 cups correct?
Wow! All of the recipes look delicious! Thank you Brandi for all the wonderful recipes! Hope you and everyone at your home have a wonderful Valentines Day!!😊
This looks awesome. What kind of Chex did you use, rice, wheat, corn? Also 2 cups doesn’t sound like a lot of cereal for all that coating???
The coating isn’t much at all and this makes a smaller amount. You can certainly double to make a big batch. 🙂
On the Valentineschex mix, do you add the mini choc.chips with the sprinkles?
