Gluten Free Muddy Buddies
Crunchy, chocolatey, and dusted in a cloud of powdered sugar, this snack mix is the kind of thing that disappears fast — especially when you're feeding a crowd of ten. The magic is in the combination of melted semi-sweet chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and butter, which creates a rich, fudgy coating that clings to every piece of Rice Chex. Rice Chex is naturally gluten free, which makes it one of the rare cereals you can grab off the shelf and use with confidence right out of the box. The whole thing comes together in the microwave in under two minutes of actual cooking time, then a good shake in a bag with powdered sugar does all the heavy lifting. No oven, no complicated steps, and no wondering whether a store-bought version snuck in a wheat-based ingredient. Once spread out on a parchment-lined sheet, the coating firms up in about 15 minutes and you're left with perfectly crispy, candy-coated clusters that are impossible to stop eating.
