I have been tastespotting Muddy Buddy recipes all over the place lately so it was high time that I gave one of them a try. First up are these Vanilla Chex Muddy Buddies courtesy of Todays Mama. I’m always looking for a simple, sweet, and crunchy snack and these buddies fit the bill rather nicely. Check out their A+mazing recipe below as well as three other recipes using Vanilla Chex cereal.

In a large microwave-safe bowl, add white chocolate chips and butter and cook for 30 seconds in the microwave. Stir. Repeat for in 30-second increments or until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Add in cereal and toss to coat. Pour mixture into extra-large zip-top bag. Add powdered sugar and shake until coated. Spread mixture on waxed paper to cool. Store in an airtight container in refrigerator. Makes 18, 1/2-cup servings. Recipe adapted from General Mills.
Interesting take on them. We always called them puppy chow because they look like puppy food. I made them using Corn Chex and substituted Almond Butter for Peanut butter. I have also used other things like Cashew Butter and Sunflower Butter.
Yummy
