I love making this recipe because it comes together quickly, doesn’t require an oven, and looks bright and cheerful for the season. It’s great for snack bowls, Easter baskets, or a snack for the family after school.
It’s great to serve with this 3-Ingredient Bunny Cinnamon Rolls and Crescent Roll Carrots for an Easter party.
How to Make Spring Pastel Muddy Buddies
Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Separate the Chex into five equal portions and place each in a separate bowl. Set aside.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt one color of chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
3. Pour the melted chocolate over one bowl of Chex, gently stirring with a spatula until fully coated. Add 2-3 tablespoons of powdered sugar and toss until well covered.
4. Spread the coated cereal onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet to dry.
5. Clean your spatula and repeat steps 2-4 for the remaining three colors of chocolate.
6. Spread the last portion of Chex on a separate parchment-lined sheet. Melt the white chocolate, drizzle it over the plain Chex, and sprinkle with marshmallow bits while still wet.
7. Once everything is dry, combine all the colorful Muddy Buddies, the white chocolate-drizzled Chex, and the candy-coated chocolates into a large bowl. Give it a good mix!
Serve and Enjoy!
Important Recipe Notes
- Use different candy colors to match your holiday or party theme.
- Make sure the chocolate is fully melted before coating the Chex for even coverage.
- Let the Muddy Buddies dry completely before storing to avoid clumping.
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
