Ingredients
- 8 cups Chex Mix cereal
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- ½ cup peanut butter (smooth)
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 1 cup mini pretzels
Instructions
- In a small microwave safe container, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter.
- Microwave in 20 second bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Add the vanilla extract and combine.

- Transfer the Chex Mix into a large, gallon sized Ziplock bag and add the powdered sugar.
- Seal the bag and shake to coat the cereal in the sugar.
- Pour the mix onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and allow to cool.
- Once cooled, combine the mix with the Candy Corn and pretzels.

Notes
Storage:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 5-7 days.
Tips:
- Muddy Buddies do not need to be refrigerated, although if you like your snack cold, feel free to keep it in the fridge.
- Processed peanut butter, like Jiff or Skippy, works best in this recipe. All-natural nut butters may not set well at room temperature. If you have a peanut allergy, sunflower seed butter should work too.
- If you can't find the autumn candy mix, you can buy candy corn and pumpkins separately.
