Set aside 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar in a gallon-sized zip-top bag. This keeps everything organized for smooth assembly.

2-Second Step: Melt the coating In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup Biscoff cookie butter, 1/2 cup butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Stir well to avoid hot spots. The mixture should be pourable and glossy.

3-Third Step: Coat the cereal Pour the warm cookie butter mixture over the Chex cereal. Gently fold with a spatula or gloved hands until every piece is coated. Work quickly to prevent sogginess. Add the crushed Biscoff cookies now and mix lightly for even distribution.

4-Fourth Step: Sugar coat Transfer the coated cereal in batches to the zip-top bag with powdered sugar. Seal and shake vigorously for 1 minute per batch. The sugar absorbs excess moisture and forms a sweet shell. Repeat until all cereal is coated. Shake off excess sugar for a cleaner finish.

5-Fifth Step: Cool and serve Spread the cookie butter muddy buddies recipe on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool for 5 minutes. Break up any clumps. Serve in bowls or store as needed. Pairs great with milk for dunking.
