Large or medium size saucepan
large mixing bowl
baking sheet/cookie sheet *optional- but makes it easier to make sure the cereal is fully covered in powdered sugar and makes it easier to evenly add the candy bar mix-ins

12 oz. Box Chex Cereal
1 (11.5 oz.) pkg Milk Chocolate Chips
1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
3/4 cup Butter *I prefer salted butter to make it a bit more salty and sweet
3 cups Powdered Sugar
Candy Bars (your favorite), chopped as needed into bite sized pieces * mini sized work perfect, regular size and fun size can be chopped up into small pieces. **not included in nutritional calculation because this will vary depending on what candy you add

Pour the Chex cereal in a large bowl. (A large bowl will make it easier tor mix the cereal with the other ingredients). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a saucepan over medium heat add the butter, chocolate chips, and creamy peanut butter. Let it melt on medium heat. Once it starts to melt turn the heat down to medium-low heat and stir the chocolate and peanut butter until it is melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
Pour the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the Chex cereal and gently mix it until it fully covered.
Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the chocolate and peanut butter covered Chex cereal. You can add a little at a time to make it easier but work fast so it will stick to the chocolate before it sets. Mix it gently until it is fully covered in powdered sugar.
Spread the Muddy Buddies on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Add the candy bars and mix them in. Serve, eat and enjoy!
