Ingredients

1 cup crushed Salted Caramel Brownie Brittle

4 1/2 cups Chocolate Chex cereal

8 ounces chocolate melting wafers

15 Rolo candies, quartered

1/4 cup powdered sugar

Directions

  1. Using a food processor, pulse the Salted Caramel Brownie Brittle until it breaks down into fine crumbs, creating approximately 1 cup. Transfer the crumbs to a small bowl and set aside.

  2. Place the chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely melted and smooth.

  3. Pour the melted chocolate over the Chocolate Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Stir vigorously until every piece of cereal is evenly coated with chocolate.

  4. Transfer the chocolate-coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the reserved Brownie Brittle crumbs, seal the bag, and shake vigorously for 1–2 minutes until the cereal is fully coated with the brittle mixture.

  5. Pour the powdered sugar into the bag with the cereal mixture, reseal, and shake again until the powdered sugar is evenly distributed throughout.

  6. Spread the coated cereal mixture in a single layer on a wax paper-lined baking tray.

  7. Allow the mixture to set completely and cool at room temperature for at least 5 minutes. Once set, fold in the quartered Rolo candies and transfer to an airtight container for storage.

This is a dump-and-shake snack that costs roughly $3 to $4 per serving—the chocolate melting wafers and specialty brownie brittle push the price up fast, and both are easiest to find at Walmart or ALDI, though you may need to check Harris Teeter's baking aisle if your regular stop doesn't stock them. The fifteen-minute time is honest for assembly, but this is a same-night eat; muddy buddies don't reheat and go stale within a day or two. It's a fun treat for a crowd or party rather than a weeknight staple, and the small four-to-five-serving yield means it won't stretch far for a family dinner.
