A sweet and colorful treat perfect for Valentine’s Day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 7 cups Chex cereal, divided
- 1 cup powdered sugar, divided
- 1 cup pink candy melts
- 1 cup red candy melts
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1 cup Valentine’s Day M&M’s
- 1/2 tablespoon Valentine’s Day sprinkles
Instructions
- Divide the Chex cereal into two separate bowls.
- Melt the pink candy melts with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between each interval, until fully melted and smooth.
- Pour the melted candy over one bowl of Chex cereal and gently fold until evenly coated. If the candy melts harden, microwave the mixture for 15 seconds and stir again until coated.
- Transfer the coated cereal to a zip-top bag, add 1/2 cup powdered sugar, seal, and shake until fully coated. Spread onto a wax paper–lined baking sheet and set aside.
- Repeat the same process with the red candy melts, remaining teaspoon of oil, and remaining Chex cereal. Coat with the remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar and spread onto the baking sheet.
- Allow the muddy buddies to set for 30 minutes, then gently mix in the M&M’s and sprinkles.
- Enjoy.
