Craving that irresistible combo of chocolate, peanut butter, and crunchy cereal dusted in sweet powdered sugar? This muddy buddy recipe (also known as puppy chow) is richly coated, perfectly addictive. Yield: 17 cups (½-cup servings)
Combine butter, peanut butter, and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy.
Place the Chex cereal in a very large mixing bowl. Pour the melted mixture over it and gently fold with a spatula until every piece is evenly coated.
For easier handling, work in batches. Add one-third of the powdered sugar (about 1.5 cups) to a gallon-size Ziploc bag, then one-third of the coated cereal. Seal and shake gently until dusted. Pour into your serving bowl and repeat. (Pro tip: A 1½-gallon or larger Ziploc bag can often handle it all at once!)
Spread on baking sheets to cool if needed, then store in an airtight container.
