Ingredients

  • 5 cups Rice or Corn Chex Cereal
  • 1 ¼ cups Funfetti cake mix
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup rainbow sprinkles
  • 10 ounces (5 squares) vanilla almond bark candy coating

Instructions

  1. Begin by placing the Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl and set it aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the Funfetti cake mix, powdered sugar, and rainbow sprinkles, stirring until well mixed. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Next, chop the vanilla almond bark candy coating into chunks and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the candy coating in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval, until it is completely melted and smooth.
  4. Once melted, drizzle the candy coating over the Chex cereal in the mixing bowl. Use a rubber spatula to gently toss the cereal until it is evenly coated with the melted candy coating.
  5. Now, sprinkle about a quarter of the Funfetti cake mix mixture over the coated Chex cereal and toss it gently to coat. Repeat this process, adding the remaining cake mix mixture in batches, until all of the cereal is evenly coated.
  6. Once the Chex cereal is fully coated with the cake mix and sprinkles, it’s ready to serve!
  7. Enjoy these sweet and crunchy Funfetti Muddy Buddies as a delicious snack or party treat!

Notes

  1. Serve with Style: Present your Funfetti Muddy Buddies in colorful bowls or decorative containers to enhance the festive vibe. For parties or gatherings, consider displaying them alongside other sweet treats for a delightful dessert spread.
  2. Portion Control: To make serving a breeze, pre-portion the Funfetti Muddy Buddies into individual snack bags or small containers. This not only makes it convenient for guests to grab a serving but also helps with portion control, especially for little ones.
  3. Keep it Fresh: Store any leftover Funfetti Muddy Buddies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. This ensures that they stay fresh and crunchy for whenever you need a quick snack fix.
  4. Avoid Moisture: To maintain their crispy texture, be sure to store the Muddy Buddies away from moisture. Moisture can cause them to become soggy, so it’s best to keep them in a dry environment.
  5. Rejuvenate if Needed: If the Muddy Buddies lose their crunch over time, you can revive them by placing them on a baking sheet and popping them in a preheated oven at 250°F (120°C) for 10-15 minutes. Allow them to cool completely before enjoying.
  6. Share the Joy: These Funfetti Muddy Buddies make fantastic gifts! Package them in colorful bags or jars, tie them with ribbons, and share the joy with friends, family, or coworkers for special occasions or just because.
