So basically, I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter. At least not when it's combined with chocolate. (I know, I know, I'm probably the only person in the world who doesn't like that combination, but whatevs.) So I'd been having this idea for a while...what if, instead of peanut butter, I used Nutella in my muddy buddies instead of peanut butter?! That way, I could enjoy them as much as everyone else!!
They were...fabulous. If you like Nutella, anyway, which both Husband and I do, so they were awesome!
In case you don't already have the recipe, here it is (both original, and altered):
9 c. rice chex, corn chex, wheat chex, chocolate-covered chex, honey-flavored chex, or any combination/variation of chex cereal
1 c semisweet chocolate chips (we actually use milk chocolate, I've never tried with the semisweet)
1/2 c peanut butter (or Nutella!!)
1/4 c butter or margarine
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 c powdered sugar
Set aside cereal in a large mixing bowl. In a large microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter together for one minute and stir. Microwave about 30 seconds more or until mixture can be stirred smooth. **I actually always just use my stove on a very low heat** Stir in vanilla, and pour mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated. Pour into 2-gallon resealable bag and add powdered sugar; seal bag and shake until cereal mixture is coated in powdered sugar. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
Let us know what other variations you guys come up with, and let us know how you liked our own concoction! Enjoy!
