Valentine’s Day Treats

I made cute baggies of these treats for Zoey’s class party today.  They are actually Muddy Buddies but jazzed up for Valentine’s Day.

Not sure where I ever found the recipe, probably from a box of Chex cereal.  They are so yummy!

Get everything together first…

1 cup vanilla baking chips, 1/2 cup of peanut butter and 4 Tbsp of butter into a microwave safe bowl.

Another bowl with 9 cups Chex cereal in it.  (I used Corn Chex because that is what we had in the kitchen, but you could use any flavor).

Line wax paper out on counter or table.

Put 2/3 cup of powdered sugar into a gallon size bag.

Set out red and pink sprinkles along with 1/2 cup regular chocolate M&M’s.

1.  Microwave vanilla baking chips, peanut butter and butter on high for a minute.  Stir well.  If the chips still need melting, microwave for 30 seconds again and stir well until smooth.

2.Pour over Chex cereal.   Stir carefully together making sure not to break the cereal but getting each piece coated with the chocolate/peanut butter mixture.

3. Place half of the cereal mixture into the plastic bag with powdered sugar and shake to mix.  Spread onto wax paper to cool.

4.  Add to the other half of the cereal mixture, M&M’s and approximately a Tbsp each of red and pink sprinkles.  Spread onto the wax paper to cool.

5. After about 15 minutes mix both cereals together in serving bowl.

Optional: Fill decorative cello bags and tie with festive ribbon to hand out to others.  Just be sure to save some for yourself.  🙂

(I made a half batch of dark chocolate Muddy Buddies too.  Those you just use dark chocolate chips instead of the vanilla baking chips.  Also I mix the whole mixture into the powdered sugar then added colored M&M’s.)

ENJOY & HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!!
