Valentine’s Day Muddy Buddies

Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 cups Rice or Corn Chex cereal
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup Valentine’s M&Ms
  • 1 cup mini pretzel knots
  • 2 tbsp heart-shaped sprinkles
  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the Chex cereal into a very large mixing bowl and set aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal. Gently fold with a spatula until all pieces are evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the coated cereal to a large zip-top bag. Add powdered sugar, seal, and shake until fully coated.
  5. Spread the muddy buddies onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. While still tacky, sprinkle with Valentine’s M&Ms, pretzels, sprinkles, and freeze-dried strawberries. Let set for 20 minutes.
  6. Break apart any clumps, mix gently, and transfer to an airtight container or gift bags.
