Harry Potter Butterbeer Muddy Buddies are made with rice Chex cereal, butterscotch, butter, toffee, and powdered sugar for a sweet and delicious snack!
A fun twist on my Classic Muddy Buddies recipe this Butterbeer version takes this highly addictive dessert recipe to a whole new level!
My butterbeer muddy buddies are sweet and buttery and topped with a toffee crunch and lightning bolt sprinkles.
The key to this recipe is the imitation butter flavoring/extract. I know, I know. But seriously — it really brings out the BUTTER in butterbeer.
I love making Muddy Buddies because they are so easy (and so addictive)! They make a great treat around the holidays and I love coming up with fun new flavors!
How To Make Butterbeer Muddy Buddies
-
Measure the cereal into a large paper bag.
-
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butterscotch chips on 50% power for 30-seconds then stir and repeat in 15-second increments until the chips are melted and smooth. Do not overcook or the butterscotch will scorch!
- In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave until fully melted. Whisk into the butterscotch along with the vanilla and butter flavoring.
-
Dump the butterscotch mixture into the brown paper bag with the cereal and the Toffee Bits and shake to coat! Spread on a cookie sheet and allow to cool for 20 minutes.
-
Add the mixture back into the bag (you may need a new bag if the first one is too buttery), and add the powdered sugar. Shake again to coat. Serve, sprinkled with lightning bolt sprinkles!
So if you’re planning a Harry Potter Marathon, skip the popcorn and go stright for a bowl full of these delicious Butterbeer Muddy Buddies!
