Muddy Buddies

Here is a classic snack. I love this recipe. It is another one with peanut butter, but again, you can make it without. I am a firm beliver in peanut butter and chocolate, I think it is the perfect combination. This recipe comes from the back of a Chex box, but adjusted for a smaller batch. Feel free to use your math skills and double it if you want the full recipe. Who says you don't use math in the kitchen?

4.5 cups Chex (you can use rice, corn or wheat)
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup powdered sugar

In a large bowl, measure cereal; set aside.
In a microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter, uncovered on high for 1 minute; stir. If mixture is not smooth, microwave for about 30 seconds longer, stir. Repeat until mixture is smooth. Stir in vanilla. Pour chocolate mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated. Pour into a Ziplog bag. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag; shake until well coated. Let cool on a piece of wax paper (although I never get to this point. I eat it right out of the messy bag).

It is a great recipe. Enjoy, a great summer snack!
