Ingredients

  • 6 cups cinnamon Chex cereal
  • 12 ounces (2 cups) white chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 1/2 cups glazed pecans
  • 2 cups cinnamon sugar pretzels or mini pretzels

Instructions

  • Add the Chex cereal to a 1 gallon resealable bag or bowl with a lid.
  • Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 15 second bursts or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of steaming water (double boiler). Melt slowly and stir frequently until the chocolate chips are melted and smooth.
  • Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the cereal and shake the bag vigorously until all of the cereal is coated.
  • Pour the powdered sugar and pumpkin pie spice into the bag. Shake again until evenly coated.
  • Pour the puppy chow onto a rimmed cookie sheet and top with the pecans and the pretzels.
  • Gently mix together and transfer to a serving bowl or package up to give to loved ones.

Notes

I Iike mixing the Muddy Buddies in a different bowl than what I’ll serve it in. Powdered sugar is messy, and the mix looks neater in a clean bowl. I also set aside a few clean pecans and pretzels to decorate the top of the mix once it’s in a serving bowl.
