Valentine’s Day KIT KAT Muddy Buddies!

Ingredients

  • 9 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup butter 1/2 stick, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • Red and white M&M’s
  • Hershey Kit Kat bars broken into smaller pieces
  • Red sugar crystals

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, pour in the Rice Chex cereal and set aside.
  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir.
  • If needed, microwave an additional 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal and mix thoroughly so each piece is coated. The mixture can be sticky—lightly spray your hands with nonstick spray if you prefer to mix by hand.
  • Transfer the coated cereal to a large resealable plastic bag (gallon size or larger).
  • Add the powdered sugar to the bag, seal it, and gently shake until all cereal pieces are evenly coated.
  • Line a baking sheet with wax paper, pour the coated cereal onto it, and spread out to cool.
  • Once cooled, transfer the mixture to a serving bowl. Stir in the red and white M&M’s, Kit Kat pieces, and sprinkle with red sugar crystals.
  • Enjoy!
