Chex Mix Muddy Buddies are a fun take on both muddy buddies and Chex mix. Chocolate, peanut butter, powdered sugar and crunchy goodness! A sweet, tasty treat!
Add the corn Chex, rice Chex, chocolate Chex, pretzels and mix nuts into a large bowl. Stir gently then set aside.
In a medium-sized, microwave-safe bowl, create the coating by combining chocolate chips, peanut butter and salted butter. Microwave the mixture in 15-30 second intervals, stirring between each until it becomes a smooth melted consistency.
Finally add the vanilla and stir.
Pour the chocolate coating on top of the Chex ingredients in the large bowl and gently stir to combine making sure it is all coated. This will take a few minutes.
Working in batches and using a zip-top bag, take about 2 cups of the Chex mix mixture. Add about ⅓ cup of powdered sugar, seal the bag, and toss thoroughly to ensure everything is coated. If needed, add more powdered sugar until it reaches your desired level of coating.
Transfer the coated mixture to a large bowl and repeat until all of the Chex Mix is coated. The amount of powdered sugar you use will depend on how heavily coated you prefer your Muddy Buddies.
Finally, making sure the mixture isn’t still warm, toss the peanut butter chips and chocolate chips in with the Chex Mix.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
