This Holiday Muddy Buddies Recipe is incredibly easy, quick, and makes the perfect no bake snack mix for Christmas time. Feel free to add some of your favorites - different types of m&m candies, pretzels, festive sprinkles, chocolate chips - to this simple, base recipe for the perfect holiday treat.
Melt chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. This can also be done in the microwave by heating the ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl in 10-15 second intervals. Mixing after each one.
Once the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter are completely melted, combined, and smooth, remove from heat.
Mix in the vanilla extract.
Add the Chex cereal and stir until it is evenly coated with the melted chocolate, butter, and peanut butter mixture.
Enjoy! Or store in an airtight container to serve later.
Notes
*I use Peanut M&Ms to compliment the peanut butter in the recipe. Regular Holiday Milk Chocolate M&Ms are also a great choice. Peanut Butter M&Ms would work too!
