Halloween Chex Mix Muddy Buddies

This Halloween Chex Mix Muddy Buddies (aka Puppy Chow) recipe is chock-full of October delight - a little salty, a lotta sweet, with crunchy and chewy textures in each handful thanks to the addition of pretzels, candy corn, chopped Oreos, and Reese's Pieces.

  • 1 1/2 cups candy corn

Instructions

  • Pour the Chex cereal into a large bowl and set it aside.
    9 cups Rice Chex
  • In a microwave-proof bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave for 30-90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate chips are completely melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla.
    1 1/2 cups (270g) semisweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup (129g) peanut butter, 1/4 cup (57g) salted butter, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pour the chocolate mixture over the Chex cereal and gently stir to coat, trying not to crush the cereal. Divide between two gallon-size Ziploc bags and pour the powdered sugar into one and the brownie mix into the other, then seal and shake to evenly coat all of the cereal.

  • Spread the cereal out on parchment paper to let the chocolate firm up a bit, for about 20 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the chocolate coated cereal with the pretzel pieces, candy corn, Oreo pieces, and Reese's pieces. Store in an air-tight container.
