Dairy Free Muddy Buddies

Dairy Free Muddy Buddies

Growing up, our family friend would always bring a “Blockbuster” bowl filled to the brim with Muddy Buddies to our Super Bowl party. Sidenote: IYKYK about the orange/yellow Blockbuster bowl AND lid. This were a staple and gone in minutes. Adults, infants, “health-nuts” all kept a look-out for when the coveted snack would make its appearance on the kitchen table. Even the most annoying of kids were invited to scramble around the bowl and grab a handful. I often wondered to myself how could something so small hold so much power over us?!

Ingredients

  • 5 Cups Rice Chex Cereal
  • 1/4 Cup Dairy Free Butter
  • 1/3 Cup Peanut Butter
  • 1 Cup Dairy Free Chocolate Chips
  • 1.5 Cups Powdered Sugar

Instructions

  • Measure out 5 cups of rice Chex cereal into a very large bowl and set aside.
  • In a double broiler, mix and melt your dairy-free chocolate chips, peanut butter, and dairy-free butter until it forms one cohesive mixture. This can be done in a microwave.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture onto your Rice Chex and stir until everything is coated. At this point you can judge whether you need more Chex.
  • Pour the powdered sugar and chocolate-covered Chex into a large Ziploc bag or Tupperware container and shake until it is coated evenly. At this point, if you still see dark chocolate colored pieces, you can add more powdered sugar.
  • These are ready to serve now, but I prefer to put them in the fridge/freezer to "set" for 30 minutes or so!

Notes

Tip: make a double batch….these never seem to last in my house.
