Muddy Buddy Bars are way easier to make than traditional muddy buddies, and each bite is filled with that peanut butter and chocolate goodness everyone loves.

I have a confession to make. I.AM.OBSESSED.WITH.MUDDY.BUDDIES (aka puppy chow). When I say obsessed, I mean, don’t bring that stuff within a 10 miles radius of me unless you want me to eat it all.

Something about chocolate, peanut butter, and crunchy cereal all combined into one Heavenly sweet treat!

These bars are SO tasty and quite simple to prepare.

I left mine as a clumpy bar, and didn’t push the cereal down to the point it broke into pieces. If you want a more uniform look, feel free to break up the cereal a bit more and spread into a single layer!

Ingredients Needed for these Muddy Buddy Bars:

Corn Chex cereal (I just used store brand)

Chocolate chips (semi-sweet is my favorite)

Peanut butter

Vanilla extract

Marshmallows

Powdered Sugar

How to prepare:

Pour- cereal into large bowl.Set aside.

Mix- chocolate chips, peanut butter, vanilla, and marshmallows Microwave in 45 second increments until chocolate mixture is smooth and melted.

Pour- chocolate over cereal and mix until coated.

Pour- into an 8×8 dish.

Push- mixture down firmly if you want it to be more of a “bar”, or you can leave it thick and “chunky” like I did.

Sprinkle- desired amount of powdered sugar on top.

Place- in fridge to set up firm, or leave in an air tight container, room temperature, for a more soft bar.
