Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

7 c chex cereal, rice, corn or wheat
1 c powdered sugar
1 tsp pumpkin pie spices
1 1/2 tsp good quality cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pkg candyquik, vanilla flavor, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Place a piece of parchment paper on a large cookie sheet for the final results. Set aside.
  • 2. In a heavy saucepan or microwave (30 seconds at a time), melt 12 oz of CandyQuik, be careful to melt it slowly to avoid burning.Stir constantly. Once melted and easy to stir, remove from heat, add vanilla and stir well.
  • 3. Put dry cereal in large mixing bowl, I use the largest Tupperware bowl they have! The more space you have to stir the easier it will be.
  • 4. In a small bowl mix powdered sugar and spices, mix well.
  • 5. Pour the warm CandyQuik slowly over the dry cereal and gently toss to coat. It takes many tosses so you have to be patient as it covers the cereal. Immediately add the powdered sugar/spice mix and gently toss over cereal until evenly coated.
  • 6. Turn the coated cereal out on to the parchment covered cookie sheet. Distribute the coated cereal evenly over the cookie sheet. Let cool, at least 2 hours. Package in gift bags or store covered on counter. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Don't overcrowd the pan when melting the butter. This will cause the butter to brown and burn, which will ruin the flavor of your muddy buddies.
  • Stir the muddy buddies constantly while melting the chocolate. This will help to prevent the chocolate from burning and will also help to create a smooth and creamy coating.
  • Don't overmix the muddy buddies after adding the chocolate. Overmixing will cause the chocolate to become tough and grainy.
  • Let the muddy buddies cool completely before serving. This will help to set the chocolate coating and prevent it from melting.
