Valentine’s Day Muddy Buddies

We all absolutely love Chex over here. From the Classic Chex Mix to just a bowl of plain Chex with fruit and milk, it’s always one thing our whole family agrees on buying at the store. One of our favorite ways to enjoy Chex as a treat is to make Muddy Buddies. It’s great because you can make it for any holiday and make it festive using different colored M&M’s or sprinkles.

The Basic Chex Muddy Buddy recipe can be found on the back of their box, we just add a cup of M&M’s and some sprinkles.

Valentine’s Muddy Buddies

Ingredients:

1 Box Family Size Chex (we like the rice Chex)

1 Cup Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

1/2 Cup of Creamy Peanut Butter

1/4 Cup of Butter

1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract

2 Cups Powdered Sugar

1 Cup of M&M’s

Your choice of sprinkles

Instructions:

Pour your Chex into a large mixing bowl(I like to use a pyrex with a lid). Put butter, peanut butter and chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir. Microwave again for about 30 seconds. Add the vanilla and stir. Then pour the mixture into the Chex and start to combine it, it’s easy to use to spoons and toss it like a salad. Then put the Chex mixture into a large Ziploc bag and add the powdered sugar. Close the bag and shake until evenly coated. I pour it back into my large bowl. If it’s not perfectly even you can mix it more in the bowl. Then mix in M&M’s and top with sprinkles! Voila! Valentine’s Day Muddy Buddies!
