Whether you call them Muddy Buddies or Puppy Chow, one thing's for sure — you won't be able to stop eating them! With crunchy cereal, creamy peanut butter, and rich chocolate, it's the ultimate snack combination. To make this classic treat even more festive, I've added a fun Valentine's Day twist using pink and red candy melts. It's colorful, delicious, and perfect for sharing with your sweethearts!
Ingredients:
6 cups Rice Chex
½ cup Peanut Butter
2 tbsp Butter
1 cup Pink Candy Melts
1 cup Red Candy Melts
1 cup Powdered Sugar
1 cup Pink & Red M&Ms (optional)
Split the Chex mix evenly between two bowls.
In the microwave, melt ¼ cup peanut butter, 1 tablespoon butter, and pink candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Repeat the same process with the red candy melts.
Pour the pink mixture over one bowl of Chex and the red mixture over the other. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until the cereal is fully coated.
Add ½ cup of powdered sugar to a large Ziploc bag, then toss in the pink Chex mixture until evenly coated. Repeat with the red Chex mix.
Spread both colors on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them set for about 30 minutes.
Once hardened, combine the pink and red mixes in a large bowl. For an extra festive touch, toss in a cup of pink and red M&Ms!
