Here are a few ideas to get you started.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cereal<\/strong>: I used Rice Chex cereal in this recipe, but you can use any Chex cereal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Go Slow!<\/strong> Don\u2019t overheat the chocolate or the marshmallows! When melting chocolate, it\u2019s best to set your microwave to 50% power. Heat in 20-30 increments, stirring thoroughly between.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Peanut Butter<\/strong>: I prefer to use smooth peanut butter for these bars. You can use chunky if you like the extra crunch the peanuts add!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Marshmallow Fluff<\/strong>: If you would like to use marshmallow fluff instead of mini ones. Replace the 4 cups of mini marshmallows with one 7.25-ounce jar of fluff.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be Gentle<\/strong>! Don\u2019t pack the muddy buddies down in the pan too hard! This will crush the cereal and make the bars end up extremely dense.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" alt=\"Overhead shot of muddy buddy bars. \" class=\"wp-image-276282\" title=\"These tasty Muddy Buddy Bars are a fun twist on the classic snack mix.
