Muddy Buddies Cookies and Cream
Description
The Muddy Buddies Cookies and Cream recipe uses equal portions of Chex cereal, split into two bowls. One bowl is blended with melted milk chocolate and the other with melted white chocolate. After coating the cereal evenly, each chocolate-coated batch is placed into separate bags with powdered sugar mixed with finely crushed Oreo cookies. Shaking the bags envelops the cereal in a sweet coating combining the powdered sugar and cookie crumbs, creating a distinctive cookies and cream flavor. The combination of two chocolates also offers a layered taste with the milk chocolate’s creamy sweetness complementing the lighter, sweeter white chocolate. The no-bake method makes the recipe straightforward, and the powder sugar coating helps keep the cereal pieces from sticking together. The final mix is a crunchy, sweet snack with a crumbly texture from the crushed Oreos integrated throughout the coating.
This snack is appropriate for sharing at casual gatherings, holiday treats, or for everyday enjoyment. The recipe's balance between two chocolates with the cookies and powdered sugar provides a unique twist on classic muddy buddies.
Ingredients
- 6 cups Chex cereal
- 6 oz milk chocolate chips (about 1 cup)
- 6 oz white chocolate chips (about 1 cup)
- 10 Oreo cookies
- 1 cup powdered sugar divided
Instructions
- Divide Chex cereal into two large bowls (3 cups in each bowl).
- Crush Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by putting them in a Ziploc bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. Divide the Oreo crumbs evenly into two separate Ziploc bags (about ½ cup in each bag). Add ½ cup of powdered sugar to each bag. Set aside.
- Melt the milk chocolate chips-- I like to use a double boiler, but you can also melt them in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until melted. Pour the melted chocolate into one of the bowls of Chex cereal and stir gently until the cereal is evenly coated in chocolate.
- Melt the white chocolate chips. Pour the melted white chocolate into the other bowl with Chex cereal and stir gently until the cereal is evenly coated in white chocolate.
- Add the milk chocolate Chex to one of the gallon Ziploc bags, and the add the white chocolate Chex to the other gallon Ziploc bag and shake the bags well to evenly coat the cereal with powdered sugar. Pour both bags together into one large bowl. And if you've got any extra Oreos in your package, chop some up and add them to the mix!
