Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (12.8 oz) box Chocolate Chex cereal
- ½ cup (100g) firmly packed light brown sugar
- ⅓ cup (67g) granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup (32g) Dutch-processed or unsweetened cocoa powder
- 8 oz (227g) dark or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- ⅔ cup (126g) chocolate sprinkles (optional)
- ¼ cup (30g) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Pour the Chocolate Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder to create the brownie batter mix. Set aside.
- Melt the chopped dark or semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal and gently stir with a spatula until all pieces are fully coated.
- Transfer the chocolate-coated cereal to a large zip-top bag or a lidded container.
- Add the chocolate sprinkles (if using) and shake until evenly dispersed.
- Add the prepared sugar-cocoa brownie batter mix and shake thoroughly to coat the cereal.
- Add the powdered sugar and shake one final time until the mixture is evenly coated.
- Spread the finished brownie batter muddy buddies on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- Use semi-sweet chocolate if dark chocolate is too intense, but avoid milk chocolate for the best brownie flavor.
- If Chocolate Chex cereal is unavailable, use Rice Chex and add 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder to the chocolate coating mixture.
- Sprinkles adhere best when added immediately after coating the cereal with chocolate.
- This recipe can be doubled or tripled for larger gatherings or gifting.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free.
