- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Muddy Buddies:
- Pour cereal in a large bowl of gallon ziploc bag, set aside.
- In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each round.
- When the mixture is melted and smooth add the vanilla and mix.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently fold to evenly coat the cereal.
- Add powdered sugar; gently fold to evenly coat the cereal.
- Store in an airtight container.
- When ready to use, measure out 1 ¼ cups muddy buddies and pour them out onto a cutting board.
- With the back of the measuring cup push down on the muddy buddies until you have small crumbs.
- Set aside until ready to use.
Ice Cream:
- Chop the 2 oz Baker’s chocolate and melt it on the stove with 2 tsp of water. Stir until smooth.
- In a separate bowl combine melted chocolate and vanilla extract,stir until combined.
- Add a little of the cream base to the chocolate and vanilla at a time and whisk so the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout.
- Pour into your ice cream maker and churn. Churn until the mix starts to look solid and firm. It’s ready when a spoon is pressed across the top and it should leave an impression without collapsing for just a second.
- Turn off the machine and remove the dasher.

- Fill the ice cream container.
