Ingredients
  

  • 1 12 ounce bag White Vanilla Candy Melts.  You could also use white chocolate chips if you don’t have candy melts.
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 1/2 - 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 4-5 cups 4 to 5 cups Barbara’s Puffins Cereal (This cereal works like a charm, it doesn’t break, taste fabulous and there is more to it. However, if you don't have this cereal you could use traditional Chex which is often used for muddy buddies.
  • Sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Pour Barbara’s Puffins Cereal into a large bowl and set aside.
  • Pour powdered sugar into a large Tupperware container with a lid or use a gallon-sized Ziplock baggie.
  • Combine the candy melts, butter and whipping cream in a melting pot.  If you don’t have a melting pot you can use the microwave or stovetop just be sure not to burn the candy melts.
  • Once the candy melts are nice and melted, remove from the heat or turn your setting to warm and mix in the vanilla.
  • Pour the candy melts over the cereal and mix until cereal is completely coated.
  • Pour the sprinkles in with the cereal, don’t wait until the candy melts dry on the cereal completely.  I added the sprinkles probably three minutes after pouring the candy melts over the cereal.
  • Once you’ve added your sprinkles mix carefully you don’t want the sprinkles to lose color, you just want it to absorb into certain spots of the cereal.
  • Once the candy melts are almost dry, pour them into your container with powdered sugar.  Shake up the cereal until it’s nice and coated. 
  • Remove from the bag using a strainer to make sure you get all the extra powdered sugar off. 
  • If the muddy buddies are not colorful enough for you, pour them into a clean baggie, add a nice amount of sprinkles, and just get your hand wet and flick the water from your fingertip into the bag. You don’t need a lot of water at all; just flicking your fingers into the bag twice should be okay. If you require more color, you can repeat, but this should do the trick.
