2.	Kids: Combine chocolate pieces, peanut butter and butter/margarine in 1 quart microwave-safe bowl. Parents: Microwave on HIGH 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until smooth, stirring after 1 minute. Stir in vanilla.
3.	Parents: Pour chocolate mixture over cereal, stirring with a large slotted spoon until all pieces are evenly coated. Pour cereal mixture 2 cups at a time into ziptop bag with powdered sugar. Seal securely. Kids: Shake until all pieces are well coated with powdered sugar.
4.	Kids: Spread muddy buddies on waxed paper to cool.

Freezing Directions:

Divide muddy buddies into one cup portions and put into small ziptop bags. Label bags with names of kids to keep snacks “even Steven”. Put the small bags into a larger freezer bag. Tastes great straight from the freezer and keeps the sticky fingers to a minimum if eaten frozen.
