Ingredients
- 6 cups rice Chex cereal
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ⅔ cup peanut butter
- 6 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
Method
- Line a 9 by 9-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang on either side to lift the slab out later.
- Tip the rice Chex cereal into a large bowl and set it within reach of the stove.
- Microwave the semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter and salted butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Stir the mini marshmallows into the hot chocolate mixture and heat everything for another 45 to 60 seconds, then stir until the marshmallows have fully melted into it.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, pour the chocolate marshmallow mixture over the cereal, and fold it through until every piece of cereal is evenly coated.
- Press the mixture into the prepared pan as evenly as you can and refrigerate the muddy buddy bars for at least 1 hour until the slab is firm.
- Lift the chilled slab out on its parchment, dust it liberally with the powdered sugar, and slice it into 12 bars.
