Halloween Chex Mix Muddy Buddies
Description
Halloween Chex Mix Muddy Buddies start with rice Chex cereal coated in a warm blend of melted semisweet chocolate, peanut butter, butter, and vanilla. After coating, the mix is divided and tossed separately in powdered sugar and brownie mix, which adds a sweet, slightly dense texture to the cereal pieces. Once cooled to firm the chocolate, the treat is combined with crushed mini pretzels, candy corn, chopped Oreo cookies, and Reese's Pieces, contributing a balance of crunch and varied flavors including salty and sweet notes throughout.
The finished mix can be served at Halloween parties or as a snack, combining a festive appearance with tactile variety from the ingredients. The chocolate-peanut coating provides richness while the pretzels and cookies create diverse textures and tastes.
This mix is best stored in an airtight container to maintain crispness and freshness. Preparing the chocolate coating carefully helps avoid breaking the cereal and ensures each piece is evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Ingredients
- 9 cups rice chex cereal
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup butter salted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups pretzels slightly crushed, mini
- 1 1/2 cups candy corn
- 1 1/2 cups Oreo cookies slightly chopped
- 1 cup Reese's Pieces
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup brownie mix
Instructions
- Pour the Chex cereal into a large bowl and set it aside.
- In a microwave-proof bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave for 30-90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate chips are completely melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the Chex cereal and gently stir to coat, trying not to crush the cereal. Divide between two gallon-size Ziploc bags and pour the powdered sugar into one and the brownie mix into the other, then seal and shake to evenly coat all of the cereal.
- Spread the cereal out on parchment paper to let the chocolate firm up a bit, for about 20 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the chocolate coated cereal with the pretzel pieces, candy corn, Oreo pieces, and Reese's pieces. Store in an air-tight container.
