For the Base

  • 1/4 cup Powdered sugar light dusting adds sweetness

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper

Method
 

How to Make Peppermint Bark Muddy Buddies
  1. Begin by placing white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and glossy.
  2. Once your white chocolate is melted, add the rice cereal into the bowl. Gently stir until every piece is beautifully coated.
  3. Transfer the coated cereal onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread it out evenly to ensure it cools and sets nicely.
  4. In a separate bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips using the same microwave method. Drizzle this chocolate over the rice cereal mixture.
  5. While the chocolate drizzle is still warm, sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies generously across the top.
  6. Allow the mixture to cool completely, about 10-15 minutes. Once set, break it into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Just before serving, give your treats a light dusting of powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
