A festive chocolate and peanut butter snack mix with candy eyes and sprinkles, perfect for Halloween parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 cups Chex cereal (rice or corn)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • Halloween-themed sprinkles
  • Candy eyes

Instructions

  1. Place Chex cereal in a large bowl.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Alternatively, melt ingredients in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.
  3. Stir vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg into the melted chocolate mixture.
  4. Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently stir until evenly coated.
  5. Add powdered sugar and Halloween sprinkles to a large resealable bag. Add the coated cereal to the bag and shake until well coated.
  6. Spread the muddy buddies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Decorate with candy eyes. Let set completely before serving.

Notes

  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
  • To prevent clumping, ensure the chocolate mixture is smooth before coating the cereal.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
  • For a different flavor, add candy corn or M&M’s to the mix.
