Braden has been hounding me for awhile to make a treat that he learned how to make at Cub Scouts not too long ago, called Muddy Buddies. They are a chocolatey, peanut butter, and cereal treat made with Rice Chex Cereal. He did all of his chores and helped put the dishes away after school today to earn his privileged time in the kitchen.
I didn't have to go very far to find the recipe. It was on the back of the cereal box. Good thing. It called for some very basic ingredients that I have a year supply of...chocolate chips, peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar. We did follow the instructions to the letter. Braden measured out the ingredients and we put everything in a big Ziploc bag and shook it up. After the cereal was covered with the chocolate peanut butter concoction, it was time to pour 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar into the bag.
The treat came out looking a little less appetizing than before we started, but it was tasty. After the sugar is worked around all of the cereal, you pour the yummies out onto a cookie sheet to dry a bit. It didn't take too long for everyone to figure out that they were really pretty good.
I'm surprised we haven't made these before with as much cereal we usually keep on hand. This was just another testimonial that anything with chocolate and peanut butter together has to be good. I know that Braden had a lot of fun introducing his family to a new treat and he was sure pleased with the results!
