Ingredients
- 5 cups of Chex cereal
- 1 cup of semisweet vegan chocolate chips
- ½ cup of creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
Instructions
- Place the cereal in a large container with a lid. Set aside.
- Place the vegan chocolate chips and peanut butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave them for 1 minute, mix well, and add 30 seconds until fully melted. Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
- Pour the mixture over the cereal and gently mix until all of the cereal is covered with the mixture.
- Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 2-3 minutes or until slightly hardened.
- Add ½ cup of powdered sugar, place the lid on, and shake vigorously. Add the other ½ cup of sugar, place the lid on, and shake well until all of the cereal is covered with the powdered sugar.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- If the vegan chocolate is too thick: Add a little coconut oil/vegan butter.
- Mix mix mix: No-one likes discovering big uncoated chunks of Chex. Be gentle but thorough when coating the cereal.
- To prevent clumping: Add the powdered sugar gradually. I do two ½ cup batches, but you could reduce that, for an even, clump-free coating.
- Cool, then store: If it’s warm, steam/condensation can cause the Chex muddy buddies to become sticky and/or soft.
