Have a Ball — or Three!

You know it’s going to be a good one when you show up to a party and there’s a bowl of muddy buddies. Oh my gosh, I love them so much! The crunch of cereal, the yum of peanut butter. The powered sugar! Love them as much as I do, I don’t always love sticky mess they make of my fingers. So, here you go! This Muddy Buddy Bites recipe captures all the peanut-buttery deliciousness, without all the “where is my napkin?” mess. These bites take the same ingredients, rolls them up into two-bite balls, and are just sure to put a smile on your face.

Chocolate Chex, peanut butter, a bit of vanilla and of course, sugar and butter. It doesn’t get much simpler or much yummier. Do yourself a favor, though. Keep a box of Chex on hand, because after you make these, you’re going to crave them all the time!

How to Make Muddy Buddy Bites

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the peanut butter, butter and vanilla until well combined. Add the cereal and beat on low speed until just combined. Then turn the mixer to medium-high speed and beat the mixture until the cereal is thoroughly crushed. This will take several minutes.

Add 1 cup powdered sugar and beat at low speed until just combined and then on medium speed until well combined. Mixture should be thick and creamy enough to roll into balls.

Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture at a time and form into balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You should get about 28 balls out of the mixture. Put the balls in the freezer for 10 minutes or the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to allow them to set.

Place the remaining ½ cup powdered sugar in a large resealable baggie and add the balls to the bag. Seal the bag and gently toss the balls in the powdered sugar until they are all coated evenly. Remove one bite at a time from the bag and place it back on the parchment-lined baking sheet, reforming them into ball shapes, if necessary.

Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and store at room temperature or in the refrigerator. We love eating them chilled!
