Ingredients
Chocolate Coating
- ¾ cups white chocolate chips
- ¾ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Cereal and Mix-ins
- 6 cups Chex cereal, divided
- 16 Oreos, roughly chopped
Additional Ingredients
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt, divided into ¼ teaspoon portions
Instructions
- Melt White Chocolate: In a large bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave using 15-second increments, stirring thoroughly between each to ensure smooth melting without burning.
- Melt Semi-Sweet Chocolate: In a separate large bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips using the same microwave method until fully melted and smooth.
- Prepare Chocolate Bags: Pour the melted white chocolate into one gallon-size plastic bag and the melted semi-sweet chocolate into another.
- Coat Chex Cereal: Add 3 cups of Chex cereal into each bag with chocolate, seal the bags leaving some air inside, and shake vigorously to evenly coat all cereal pieces with chocolate.
- Add Powdered Sugar and Salt: To each bag, add 1 cup powdered sugar and ¼ teaspoon salt. Reseal and shake vigorously again to coat the coated cereal evenly with the sugar and salt mixture.
- Combine and Add Oreos: Pour both chocolate-coated cereal mixtures into a large bowl. Add the roughly chopped Oreos and gently mix with hands or spoons to combine everything thoroughly.
- Serve and Enjoy: The Oreo Muddy Buddies are ready to be enjoyed immediately or stored in an airtight container for later snacking.
Notes
- You can use any variety of Oreos (original or flavored) to customize the taste.
- For best results, ensure chocolate is fully melted but not overheated to avoid clumping.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Use gluten-free Chex cereal and gluten-free Oreos for a gluten-free variation.
