Scale
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cookie butter
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1-2 tablespoons shortening or butter
- 4-5 cups Chex cereal
- 1 cup powdered icing sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Grease or line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to ensure the muddy buddies don’t stick later on.
- Melt the Mixture: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine cookie butter, white chocolate chips, and shortening or butter. Microwave for 35 seconds, then stir well. Reheat in short intervals as needed until the mixture is smooth and combined.
- Adjust Consistency if Needed: If the mixture seems too stiff, simply stir in the butter or shortening without reheating until well blended and smooth.
- Coat the Cereal: Add the Chex cereal to the bowl and stir gently to coat all the pieces evenly with the cookie butter mixture.
- Sugar Coating: Pour the powdered icing sugar into a large zip-top plastic bag then transfer the coated cereal into the bag.
- Shake to Coat: Seal the bag tightly and shake vigorously until every piece of cereal is fully coated with powdered sugar.
- Dry and Set: Spread the coated cereal evenly on the prepared baking sheet and let it dry for about one hour to set the coating before serving or packaging.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of butter or shortening depending on how thick or thin you want the coating.
- For best texture, ensure the cereal is fully coated but not overly saturated to maintain crunch.
- Store in an airtight container to keep the snack fresh for up to a week.
- Feel free to substitute white chocolate chips with regular or dark chocolate chips for a different flavor.
