Muddy Snowballs Recipe

Muddy Snowballs are basically a giant muddy buddy stuffed with a soft rice krispie treat inside. And YES, they are just as good as they sound! Be warned, this recipe can be a little messy, but I promise the mess is so worth it! These muddy buddy balls might just be my new favorite treat!

Ingredients for Muddy Snowballs

• Rice Krispies Cereal – I usually just use the generic store brand of “crisp rice cereal” like these and it works great every time.
• Butter – I always use salted butter in my recipes.
• Mini Marshmallows
• Milk Chocolate Chips – I like to use milk chocolate for this recipe, but feel free to use semi-sweet chocolate if you prefer!
• Peanut Butter
• Butter – This is for 2 additional tbsp of butter added in with the chocolate and peanut butter.
• Powdered Sugar

How to Make Muddy Snowballs

1. Begin by using an extra large bowl and adding in the rice krispie cereal. Note that these are much easier to make in an extra large bowl. If you don’t have a large bowl, I would suggest working in smaller batches, or halfing the recipe if needed.
2. Using a different, large, microwave safe bowl, melt the butter completely in the microwave.
3. Once the butter is melted, add about 3/4 of the bag of marshmallows into the bowl with the melted butter. Stir the mixture to completely coat the marshmallows in butter.
4. Return the bowl with butter and marshmallows back to the microwave and cook for about 30 more seconds, then stir.
5. Repeat this step one more time to mostly melt the marshmallows.
6. Now pour the marshmallow mixture into the extra large bowl with the rice krispie cereal and stir to combine evenly.
7. Next, add in the rest of the bag of marshmallows and mix again to evenly distribute the marshmallows. I like to do this so that there are a few unmelted marshmallows in the rice krispie treat.
8. Now lightly wet your hands, then scoop a portion and roll the rice krispie treats into a tight ball. You will need to rewet your hands after every few rice krispie treat balls to keep them from sticking to your hands.
9. Once you have rolled all of the mixture into tight balls, allow the rice krispie treats to sit for about 30 minutes to harden.
10. While the rice krispie treat balls are sitting, add the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and 2 tbsp of butter in a small bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue to repeat until the mixture is smooth.
11. Now place your hardened rice krispie treat balls in the extra large bowl again and then pour the chocolate and peanut butter mixture on top.
12. Softly stir to completely coat the balls in the chocolate.
13. Once coated, take each ball one at a time and roll it in powdered sugar.
14. Now allow the Muddy Buddy Snowballs to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to let the chocolate set up.
15. Now enjoy!
16. Store the Muddy Snowballs in an air-tight container for up to 4 days.

Can I freeze Muddy Snowballs?
