  3. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal and fold gently until all the cereal is coated.
  4. Transfer the coated cereal into a large paper bag or giant Ziploc bag. Add the powdered sugar, seal, and shake vigorously until well coated.
  5. Pour the muddy buddies onto a baking sheet to cool.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Avoid refrigerating as it can lose crunchiness. You can also use festive containers for presentation.
