Instructions
-
Make the muddy buddies. Melt peanut butter, butter and chocolate together, stirring frequently over medium or use a microwave.

Add 3 cups of cereal to a large bowl. Pour 1 cup of your chocolate/peanut butter mixture over the cereal. Repeat with remaining cereal and chocolate to evenly distribute everything.
-
Stir until the cereal is evenly coated.
-
Let the mixture cool for a bit so it’s not too warm.
-
Add 1 cup of powdered sugar. Mix until combined.

Let cool for a few minutes so the powdered sugar has a chance to set.

Add more powdered sugar 1/4 cup at a time until your cereal is coated to your satisfaction. Let the muddy buddies cool.

Spray a 9×13-inch pan with non-stick spray and line it with a foil or parchment paper sling. Spray again.
-
In a very large microwave-safe bowl, or in a pot on the stove over medium heat, place your butter, salt, and 8 cups of mini marshmallows. Microwave in 30-second increments, or heat, stirring in between, until everything is completely melted and smooth.
-
Add vanilla and stir again.
-
Pour in the muddy buddies and mix well.
-
Add in the remaining marshmallows while still warm and lightly press into your prepared pan (**see note).
-
Let them cool for an hour or two and then cut and serve!
