Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Butter Mixture

  • 1/2 cup cookie butter
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips or cinnamon chips
  • 1–2 tablespoons shortening or butter

Cereal and Coating

  • 4–5 cups Chex cereal
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking dish: Grease a baking dish thoroughly and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Melt the cookie butter mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cookie butter, white chocolate or cinnamon chips, and shortening or butter. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
  3. Coat the cereal: Pour the melted cookie butter mixture over the Chex cereal, stirring gently but thoroughly until every piece is well coated.
  4. Add powdered sugar: Place the coated cereal and powdered sugar into a large resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and shake vigorously until the cereal is evenly dusted with powdered sugar.
  5. Dry and store: Transfer the coated cereal onto the prepared baking dish and spread it out to dry for about one hour. After drying, store the muddy buddies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • You can substitute white chocolate chips with cinnamon chips depending on your flavor preference.
  • Shortening or butter helps the cookie butter mixture melt smoothly and coat the cereal evenly.
  • Ensure the cereal is coated thoroughly before adding powdered sugar for the best flavor.
  • Allowing the mixture to dry for an hour helps the coating set and prevents clumping.
  • Store the muddy buddies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week for optimal freshness.
