Chunky Muddy Buddies–do you love chex muddy buddies but wish there were more of the stuck together chunks? I prefer my muddy buddies this way too and have tweaked the recipe so that it’s basically all chunks. More peanut butter, more chocolate, more deliciousness.
Chunky Muddy Buddies
We all love muddy buddies, puppy chow…whatever you want to call it. How can you not? It’s a piece of cereal enveloped in chocolate and peanut butter and then tossed with powdered sugar. Whenever I make muddy buddies I immediately pick out all the chunks that have gotten stuck together and eat them as fast as possible. Then I leave whatever is left for everyone else.
I decided that I needed to make a batch of muddy buddies that had all the chunks and none of the pieces that are sort of dry. It worked really well and I will probably make it this way from now on. If you like individual pieces of cereal that are perfectly coated in powdered sugar then you’ll probably not like this recipe. But if you like the fudgy chunky pieces, this recipe is for you.

Could a dark chocolate be used
Sure!
Hi Karen,
The Chunky Muddy Buddies sound really good. But I have a question about how this is storied. Can I store them in the pantry or do they need to be stored in the refrigerator?
Thanks, Brenda.
Hi Brenda, I like to cool them down quickly in the fridge initially so I can eat them as fast as possible. Then I store them in my pantry. Either way is fine. It’s a preference thing.
This sounds delish! Thank you for the free Slow Cooker ebook! Happy Mother’s Day to you!!
