5-ingredient Muddy Buddies (Puppy Chow) coats Chex cereal with vegan chocolate, peanut butter, and powdered sugar for the ultimate crowd-pleasing party/game day snack - all ready in under 30 minutes, too!
Place the cereal in a large container with a lid. Set aside.
Place the vegan chocolate chips and peanut butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave them for 1 minute, mix well, and add 30 seconds until fully melted. Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
Pour the mixture over the cereal and gently mix until all of the cereal is covered with the mixture.
Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 2-3 minutes or until slightly hardened.
Add ½ cup of powdered sugar, place the lid on, and shake vigorously. Add the other ½ cup of sugar, place the lid on, and shake well until all of the cereal is covered with the powdered sugar.
Notes
If the vegan chocolate is too thick: Add a little coconut oil/vegan butter.
Mix mix mix: No-one likes discovering big uncoated chunks of Chex. Be gentle but thorough when coating the cereal.
To prevent clumping: Add the powdered sugar gradually. I do two ½ cup batches, but you could reduce that, for an even, clump-free coating.
Cool, then store: If it’s warm, steam/condensation can cause the Chex muddy buddies to become sticky and/or soft.
