Spring Muddy Buddies

*

Large Party Size Recipe

*
*5 cups Rice Chex

*5 cups Corn Chex

*1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips or Semi-Sweet

*3 1/2 tablespoons Butter

*3/4 cup Peanut Butter

*1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

*2 cups Mini Colorful Marshmallows, Kraft Jet-Puffed FunMallows

*1 cup Cashew Pieces, optional

*2 cups Reese’s Puff Bunnies, or Regular Reese’s Puffs Cereal

*4 ounce box Mini Robin Eggs, Whoppers

*3/4 cup Milk Chocolate Chips

*3 1/4 cups Powdered Sugar

*3 gallon sized resealable bags

Melt dark chocolate chips in a double boiler on medium-low heat. Then add butter, peanut butter and vanilla. Stir until melted.

*
In an extra-large mixing bowl add the Chex Cereals and pour over the chocolate mixture and stirring carefully, so not to crush the Chex cereal, stir until cereal is all coated. I like to use 3 gallon sized bags add 1/3 of the powdered sugar and 1/3 of the coated Chex mixture. Seal up bags and shake until clear all is totally coated.

*
Then pour back into extra-large mixing bowl: Muddy buddies, marshmallows, cashews, Reese’s Puffs, mini robin eggs, milk chocolate chips. Toss together and store in an airtight container or in resealable bags.

Enjoy!
