FOOD: Muddy Buddy Rice Crispy Treats!

Muddy Buddies or, as I like to call it, Puppy Chow is a delicious peanut butter and chocolate Chex snack.
I just recently found a recipe to turn this yummy treat into Rice Krispies squares!!


They are regular Rice Krispies coated in a delicious peanut butter chocolate marshmallow goo and then coated in powdered sugar. What more could you ask for?!

Here's what you need:

  • 5 Tbsp butter
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 6 cups marshmallows
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Begin by melting the butter, chocolate chips, and peanut butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, stir frequently to avoid burning the chocolate.
Once combined, reduce heat to low and add the marshmallows. I suggest adding half of them and then when they are mostly melted add the rest until all marshmallows are melted and you have a creamy gooey mess.
Remove from heat.
In a large bowl pour the chocolate over the Rice Krispies and stir lightly to combine.
Grease a 9x13" pan and spoon in the mixture. I say "Spoon" because it's made extra gooey and doesn't pour well. It's SUPER sticky though, so be careful not to use a billion spoons and all ten fingers...

Here's where I started taking pictures.

Chill in fridge for about 20 minutes, they are supposedly easier to cut when cold. I stupidly forgot about them and they were in the fridge overnight...
Cut into bite size pieces. My hand hurt so much cutting them into squares because they were rock solid.


Place in bowl and pour the powdered sugar over the pieces. Mix until all pieces are evenly coated and you have a nice powdered sugar mess all down the front of you...


I used two bowls to help make the mixing easier.
Ours are currently chilling in the refrigerator (because my roommate enjoys EVERYTHING cold...) but imo they are a little too hard to chew cold. They would be just fine not in the fridge...
But no worries, they are still scrumptious!!!
