Instructions

  2. Remove from the microwave, stir, then microwave for an additional 30 seconds.
  3. Remove from the microwave and stir in the Nutella and vanilla extract.
  4. Add the Rice Chex cereal to a large bowl and pour the chocolate Nutella mixture on top. Toss to coat.
  5. Add the powdered sugar to the bowl and toss together until the cereal is fully coated in the sugar.

Notes

  • This recipe was made using a 1000 watt microwave. If your microwave has a stronger wattage, microwave the chocolate for 1 minute, then remove and stir. Add 30 seconds if it's not completely melted. Continue adding 30 seconds until the butter and chocolate chips are both melted.
  • Making it in a Ziplock bag: add the cereal to a gallon size plastic bag, then add the Nutella chocolate mixture, seal the bag and toss to coat. Add in the powdered sugar and shake the bag until all of the cereal is fully coated in the powdered sugar.
  • Sealed in an airtight container, muddy buddies can be stored at room temperature for up to 5 days. After 5 days, you can put them in the refrigerator for another 5-7 days.
  • Muddy Buddies are naturally gluten free, without making any substitutions.
  • To make a half batch of this recipe, use 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons Nutella, 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract, 3 1/2 cups Rice Chex cereal and 3/4 cups powdered sugar. Follow the recipe instructions just the same as you would with a full batch.
