What Kind of Peanut Butter Should I Use?

Creamy peanut butter is the classic go-to for this recipe, offering the perfect texture for coating the cereal evenly. However, you can get creative with honey-roasted or natural peanut butter—just make sure it’s not too oily or dry. Avoid crunchy peanut butter, as it doesn’t blend smoothly and can cause clumping.

Ingredients for the Double Peanut Butter Muddy Buddies Chex Mix

• Rice Chex Cereal – The light and airy base that carries all the peanut butter and chocolate goodness.
• Creamy Peanut Butter – Delivers that rich, nutty coating and ties all the flavors together.
• Chocolate Chips – Adds indulgence and balances the peanut butter with a sweet depth.
• Powdered Sugar – Essential for that classic muddy buddy finish and a hint of sweetness in every bite.
• Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups – For extra bursts of peanut butter and chocolate.
• Peanut Butter Chips – Melted and drizzled over for the “double” peanut butter effect.
• Peanut Butter Baking Bits or Candy-Coated Peanuts – For extra crunch and texture.

How To Make the Double Peanut Butter Muddy Buddies Chex Mix

Step 1: Melt and Mix

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.

Step 2: Coat the Cereal

Place the Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm peanut butter-chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently fold until evenly coated.

Step 3: Sugar Shower

Transfer the coated cereal into a large zip-top bag or paper bag. Add powdered sugar and shake until every piece is well coated.

Step 4: Add the Extras

Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet to cool slightly. Sprinkle in mini peanut butter cups, peanut butter baking bits, and a drizzle of melted peanut butter chips.

Step 5: Set and Serve

Allow everything to set at room temperature or place in the fridge for a quick chill. Serve in a bowl, package into gift bags, or store in an airtight container.
