How to Make Mud Buddies

Melt 12 ounces of chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. (Alternatively, melt over low heat on the stovetop, stirring constantly).
In a large bowl, combine 9 cups Chex cereal (Rice Chex, Corn Chex, or a mix) with the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture.
Gently stir with a spatula until the cereal is evenly coated.
Pour the coated cereal into a large zipper-top bag.
Add 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar to the bag.
Seal the bag and shake vigorously until the cereal is evenly coated with powdered sugar.
Spread the Muddy Buddies in a single layer on wax paper to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
