This recipe has got to be one of the easiest versions of muddy buddies ever.  EVER.

Ingredients

• 1 Box of Chex Cereal (I use rice, but any will do)
• 2-3 Cups of White Melting Chocolates  (I like clusters, so I use the whole three cups)
• One Box of Yellow or Vanilla Cake Mix
• Sprinkles as desired

Put all the chocolates into a large microwave safe bowl.  Melt in microwave in 30 second increments.  Be sure to take it out and stir it at each increment so your chocolate doesn’t burn. 

Once the chocolate has completely melted, you will get your Chex cereal totally coated with chocolate.  There are multiple ways to do this.  One way is to poor the Chex into the bowl of chocolate and stir.  This works best if you have a really big bowl and a delicate hand so that you don’t crush all the cereal.  The other way (the way I usually go), is to evenly divide the cereal into two large ziplock bags.  Then, poor half the chocolate in one bag and the other half in the other bag.  Seal the bags with a little extra air in them, and then gently toss around until the cereal is all evenly coated.

If you have coated your cereal in the bowl, then you will move it into two bags before the next step.

Evenly divide the cake mix into each bag of coated cereal.  Add your sprinkles to each bag, then re-seal and toss again.  Gently toss until the powder of the cake mix has evenly coated the cereal. 

Next, lay sheets of wax paper on the countertop (or cookie sheets if you’ll need to move them soon) and spread out the Chex mix evenly and let sit until the chocolate sets.  Or, if you’re like me, you can just skip this step and go straight to eating it.

A variation of this would be to use a flavored cake mix, such as lemon or strawberry.  Or, you can add some lemon or orange zest to the chocolate before coating your cereal with it.
