HOW TO MAKE PISTACHIO MUDDY BUDDIES
- INGREDIENTS (full printable recipe below)
- 8 cups rice square cereal
- 2 (3.4 ounce) boxes pistachio pudding mix
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 6 tablespoons lime green sanding sugar, divided
- 1 pound vanilla melting candy
- DIRECTIONS
- Line a large baking pan with parchment paper.
- Measure cereal into a large bowl.
- Add the pistachio pudding, powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of the sprinkles to a large zip top bag or paper sack.
- NOTE: I sifted the pudding mix to get rid of the pistachio nuts. That was my preference if you want you can leave them in for added crunch. Since I was serving this to little girls I decided to take the nuts out.
- Place the vanilla melting candy in a microwave safe container and heat 1 minute; stir until melted and creamy.
- TIP: If candy is not melted microwave and additional 30 seconds.
- Pour melted candy over cereal and stir to coat.
- Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of sprinkles and stir.
- Pour coated cereal in pistachio mixture; shake and roll the bag until the cereal has been coated with the mixture.
- Pour onto prepared baking pan, evenly spread out to cool.
