Charlie Brown Muddy Buddies

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please read our disclosure policy here

As a kid I can remember watching the adventures of Charlie Brown on the tele (yes that is what I used to call it back in the day) and there was something about that little boy in a yellow and brown shirt with his adorable little white dog that truly stuck with me. I think he ultimately stuck with so many of us. That is why it’s so exciting to hear The Peanuts Movie will be released soon!

So while I wait here in anticipation, I am going to devour this Charlie Brown Muddy Buddies snack I came up with. It’s delicious, chocolatey, and everything you’d want in a sweet snack! Plus if you have peanut allergies in your home (like I do) then you don’t have to worry because this snack is entirely nut-free!

CHARLIE BROWN MUDDY BUDDIES

Supplies Needed to Make Charlie Brown Muddy Buddies:

  • Ziploc Quart Gallon Freezer Bags
  • 2 Cups Nestle White Chocolate Morsels
  • 1 Cup Nestle Dark Chocolate Morsels
  • 9 Cups Rice Cereal
  • 2 Cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 Box of Lemon Gelatin Mix
  • Yellow Chocolate Candies (I used MEGA M&M’s)
  • 4 Bowls (make sure they are microwave safe)
  • Parchment Paper
  • Mixing Spoons

How to Make Charlie Brown Muddy Buddies:

  1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, add about 1 cup of dark chocolate morsels and place into microwave to melt. Heat in 30 second increments then stir and continue until all chocolate it melted.
  3. Spoon the melted chocolate into a Ziploc bag and seal shut. Clip the very end off to turn this into a piping bag.charlie brown muddy buddies inprocess1
  4. Apply light pressure and draw out a zig zag shape onto the parchment paper. These are going to resemble the zig zag pattern on Charlie Brown’s shirt.charlie brown muddy buddies inprocess2
  5. Once you have filled the entire cookie sheet, place it into the freezer until the chocolate hardens.
  6. In the meantime, place 9 cups of rice cereal into a large bowl and set aside.
  7. In another Ziploc bag, combine the powdered sugar and lemon gelatin mix until they are well mixed.
  8. Melt 2 cups of the white chocolate morsels in the microwave the same way you did in step 2.
  9. Pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal and mix well until all of the cereal is covered.charlie brown muddy buddies inprocess3

  14. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for future snacking.
