Description
Chocolate Caramel Muddy Buddies are a rich, no-bake snack made with crunchy rice Chex coated in melted chocolate and gooey caramel, then dusted in powdered sugar for a sweet, irresistible finish. Perfect for parties, movie nights, or an indulgent treat.
Ingredients
7 cups rice Chex cereal
1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup caramel sauce
1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 45 seconds, then continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted chocolate and caramel sauce. Stir until smooth.
- Add the rice Chex cereal to the bowl and gently fold until evenly coated, being careful not to crush the cereal.
- Add the powdered sugar and gently fold until all pieces are thoroughly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
- Serve once the coating is firm and no longer sticky to the touch.
Notes
Chill promptly to prevent clumping and help the coating set evenly.
Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top for a sweet-and-salty variation.
Add chopped pretzels or roasted peanuts for extra crunch.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Can be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
Reduce powdered sugar slightly or add a pinch of salt to balance sweetness.
