Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz Chex Cereal
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 4 Tablespoons butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup Reese’s Pieces
  • 1 cup mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
  • Candy Eyes

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter cubes. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir and continue heating in 20-second intervals until completely melted. Stir in vanilla extract.
  2. Add Chex cereal to the melted chocolate mixture. Stir until all cereal pieces are well coated.
  3. Place half of the coated cereal mixture into a gallon-sized plastic bag. Add half of the powdered sugar. Seal the bag and shake until the pieces are coated. Pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cereal and powdered sugar.
  4. Let the Halloween Muddy Buddies set for about 1 hour for the chocolate to harden.
  5. Gently mix in the Reese’s Pieces and mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Toss together to distribute the candies. Add candy eyes for decoration if desired.

Notes

  • Store Halloween Muddy Buddies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  • Feel free to substitute other candies based on your preference.
  • For a nut-free option, use sunflower seed butter or soy nut butter.
  • Experiment with white chocolate or butterscotch chips for different flavor profiles.
  • Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or pumpkin spice to the chocolate mixture for a fall twist.
  • Consider adding dried cranberries or mini marshmallows for a chewy surprise.
  • For a vegan option, use dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut oil instead of butter.
