Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Microwave-safe Bowl
  • Spatula
  • Cookie sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

  • 12.8 oz Chocolate Chex cereal about 8 cups, divided
  • 3 cups Cocoa Puffs divided
  • 2 cups roasted lightly salted peanuts or almonds
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 10 oz bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup Reese’s peanut butter chips
  • 2 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 2 cups mini M&Ms
  • 2 cups Golden Grahams cereal

Instructions
 

  • Begin by lining a large cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chocolate Chex cereal, Cocoa Puffs, Golden Grahams, and roasted peanuts or almonds. Stir gently to mix without crushing the cereals.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the bittersweet chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth and fully melted.
  • Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the cereal and nut blend. Gently fold with a spatula until all pieces are evenly coated.
  • Add the miniature marshmallows and mini M&Ms to the coated mixture. Fold carefully to keep marshmallows intact.
  • Sprinkle powdered sugar over the mixture and gently stir until everything is evenly coated to add sweetness and prevent sticking.
  • Pour the mixture onto the prepared cookie sheet, spreading it out evenly. Allow to cool and set for about 30 minutes.
  • Once set, break the Monster Smores Muddy Buddies into pieces and store in an airtight container. Enjoy your crunchy, sweet snack!

Notes

  • Stir gently to avoid crushing the cereals and maintain crunchiness.
  • Add crushed graham crackers for extra s'mores flavor.
  • Adjust powdered sugar amount to control sweetness.
  • Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for up to a month.
