My friend, Jennifer, handed me a bag of Rice Chex cereal she had made covered in what tasted like peanut butter cups. Chex has registered the name Muddy Buddies and you can see the original recipe at Chex.com. Here is Jennifer’s delicious GFCF adaptation…
9 cups Rice Chex cereal
1 cup Enjoy Life chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla
1&1/2 cups powdered sugar
In a large pot over low heat, melt chocolate chips, peanut butter, and coconut oil while stirring. Cook until mixture can be stirred and is smooth.* Stir in vanilla. Pour mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated. Pour into 2 gallon resealable container or bag. Add powdered sugar. Seal bag or container. Shake until well coated. Spread on waxed paper. Store in airtight container in fridge.
*You can melt this in the microwave uncovered on high for 1 minute. Stir. Then Microwave for 30 seconds longer.
