Servings: 24 servings
Ingredients
- 12 cups rice Chex cereal
- 16 ounce Vanilla Candiquik candy coating, almond bark
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup hot cocoa mix I used Swiss Miss
- 1 cup Kraft Jet Puffed marshmallow bits
Instructions
- Microwave candy coating according to package directions.
- In a large bowl, combine melted Candiquik with chex cereal. Stir gently until blended.
- Sprinkle with hot cocoa mix and powdered sugar, folding over with a wooden spoon until fully coated. Add marshmallows bits.
- Store puppy chow/ muddy buddies in a large ziploc bag or airtight container for up to one week. ENJOY.
Notes
- Stir gently when coating the Chex with the melted vanilla candiquik to avoid crushing the rice squares.
- You can change up the flavor by using different hot cocoa mix flavors. Dark chocolate and salted caramel are two Swiss Miss flavors that would taste great in this recipe!
- Want it to be chocolatier? Substitute milk chocolate melting wafers for the vanilla candiquik. Warning: the muddy buddies will be RICH if you choose this option!
- Keep hot cocoa chex mix in an airtight container for up to one week.
