Pumpkin Spice Muddy Buddies

Another take on adding fall flavors to an old favorite, I made pumpkin spice muddy buddies for my granddaughter's school bake sale.  Muddy buddies, also known as puppy chow for humans, is basically chex cereal coated in chocolate and powdered sugar. I turned it into a fall treat by adding pumpkin pie spice to the melted white chocolate chips. Very yummy!

Ingredients

1 box Chex cereal - your choice of Cinnamon, Vanilla or Chocolate flavor (I used a combination of chocolate and vanilla.
1 package white chocolate chips
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
2/3 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Place Chex cereal in large bowl. In double boiler, melt the white chocolate until it is completely smooth. Add pumpkin pie spice and stir in thoroughly.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the chex cereal and stir gently to coat the cereal pieces.
Place 1/3 cup of powdered sugar into each of two plastic freezer bags. Add half of the coated cereal to each (don't allow the chocolate to dry) and shake the bag to coat the pieces with powdered sugar. Kids enjoy doing this part. Add the other half of the coated cereal to the other bag and do the same. When fully coated, pour our the pieces onto a baking sheet and allow to dry. Store in airtight container.
