Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare the cereal: In a large bowl, measure out the Rice Chex cereal and set aside to have it ready for coating.
- Melt chocolate and oil: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Add matcha powder: Stir in the matcha green tea powder into the melted chocolate mixture until the powder is fully incorporated and the mixture is uniform.
- Coat the cereal: Pour the melted matcha chocolate mixture over the Rice Chex cereal. Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated.
- Prepare the coating sugar: In a separate large bag or bowl, combine the powdered sugar and optionally additional matcha powder if you want a stronger green tea flavor.
- Combine and coat: Add the coated cereal into the bag or bowl with the powdered sugar mixture. Seal or cover it and shake vigorously until each cereal piece is evenly coated with powdered sugar.
- Cool and serve: Spread the coated muddy buddies on a baking sheet or parchment paper to cool and set before serving. This helps prevent clumping and allows the coating to firm up.
Notes
- Use high-quality matcha powder for the best flavor and vibrant color.
- Ensure the white chocolate is fully melted to easily coat the cereal.
- Adjust the amount of powdered sugar to your desired sweetness.
- This snack is best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a stronger matcha flavor, add extra matcha to the powdered sugar coating step.
