Chex cereal coated in white chocolate, Funfetti cake mix, and sprinkles! Funfetti Muddy Buddies are a delicious, easy, no bake snack that the kiddos can help make!
Funfetti is my favorite flavor. Ask me what kind of cake I want for my birthday and it’s funfetti. Ask me what kind of anything I want and it will be funfetti.
So I’m obsessed with these Funfetti Muddy Buddies.
Muddy Buddies are a summer staple. I remember being at camp and each of us having ziploc bags to make our own little personal bag of muddy buddies. But we’re making them fancy today. Because funfetti.
These are so easy. They take minutes to make and yes, you can totally make them in a ziploc bag.
Ingredients
- Rice or Corn Chex Cereal – either one works!
- Funfetti Cake Mix – use the rest of the box for Funfetti Dip!
- Powdered sugar – you can’t make muddy buddies without powdered sugar!
- rainbow sprinkles – I like to use jimmy-style sprinkles but use whatever rainbow sprinkles you like
- vanilla almond bark candy coating – you can find this in the baking aisle at all large grocery stores.
How To Make Funfetti Muddy Buddies
- Prep. Place Chex in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together cake mix, powdered sugar, and sprinkles. Set both aside.
- Melt candy coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the candy coating in 30 second increments, stirring after each one, until melted and smooth
- Coat the Chex. Working quickly but carefully, drizzle the melted candy coating over the Chex and toss to coat.
- Add the Funfetti! Sprinkle the cake mix mixture over the candy coating covered Chex and toss until all the Chex is covered.
- Enjoy! It’s ready to serve immediately! Or store it at room temperature until ready to serve.
Ziploc Bag Muddy Buddies Instructions
The ziploc bag method works great if you have several children who want to make their own little batch of Funfetti Muddy Buddies to snack on.
- Divide the Chex cereal among the ziploc bags you’ll be using. I recommend using the heavier freezer bags and not the thinner sandwich bags.
- Melt the chocolate as instruted and divide them over the Chex cereal in the ziploc bags. Close the bags and shake to coat.
- Quickly divide the cake mix mixture among the bags and continue to toss to coat.
- Enjoy straight from the bag!
These muddy buddies don’t last a day in my house but they are technically good at room temperature for 3 or 4 days.
Make sure to store them at room temperature in an airtight container, like a large ziploc bag.
I don’t recommend trying to freeze muddy buddies.
