Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 9 cups rice cereal
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chai tea mix
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper and gathering all ingredients.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and white chocolate chips together, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and completely combined. Be careful not to overheat.
- Once melted, stir the chai tea mix into the white chocolate butter mixture until thoroughly incorporated, creating a fragrant and creamy coating.
- Pour the rice cereal into a large mixing bowl and gently pour the warm chai white chocolate mixture over the cereal.
- Using a large spatula or wooden spoon, carefully fold and coat the cereal, ensuring each piece is evenly covered with the chai white chocolate mixture.
- Transfer the powdered sugar to a large zip-top bag or sealable container.
- Add the chai-coated cereal to the bag with powdered sugar, seal tightly, and shake vigorously until all pieces are completely coated in a fine white sugar layer.
- Spread the finished Muddy Buddies onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet to cool and allow the coating to set.
- Let the Chai Tea Snow Muddy Buddies cool for approximately 10 minutes before serving or storing in an airtight container.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality chai tea mix for the most robust and authentic flavor profile.
- Melt chocolate and butter slowly to prevent scorching - short 30-second microwave intervals are key.
- Work quickly when coating the cereal to ensure even distribution of the chai white chocolate mixture.
- For extra flavor intensity, consider adding a pinch of ground cinnamon or cardamom to the powdered sugar coating.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain crispness.
- For a festive touch, sprinkle some edible glitter or crushed candy canes over the finished Muddy Buddies.
- Use a large zip-top bag for coating to minimize mess and ensure even sugar coverage.
