Ingredients
Scale
Chex Cereal:
- 6 cups Chex cereal (rice or corn)
Candy Coating:
- 1.5 cups colorful candy melts (various colors)
Dusting Ingredient:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare a large microwave-safe bowl and gently heat candy melts at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds until completely smooth and glossy.
- Pour Chex cereal into the melted candy mixture, carefully folding and turning to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the colorful candy coating.
- Open a spacious ziplock bag and add powdered sugar, then transfer the candy-coated cereal into the bag, sealing it securely.
- Vigorously shake the sealed bag, rotating and tumbling to create an even, sugar-dusted layer that completely covers the cereal pieces.
- Spread the sugar-coated cereal onto clean wax paper, allowing it to rest and set at room temperature for approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Once fully cooled and hardened, gently break apart any clustered pieces and mix the vibrant, crunchy morsels to create a visually appealing and delightful treat.
Notes
- Use low microwave power and stir frequently to prevent candy melts from burning or seizing, which can ruin the entire batch.
- Try different candy melt colors to create unique rainbow combinations or match party themes by mixing various shades.
- For extra crunch, ensure cereal is completely dry before coating and avoid overloading with melted candy to maintain a light, crispy texture.
- Keep Rainbow Muddy Buddies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, preventing moisture from making them soggy.
