How to make Whopper Chex Muddy Buddies:
(We have been getting comments about this Whopper Chex Muddy Buddies being a gooey mess. So we put it in bold and are mentioning it again…don’t put the Whoppers and last of the chocolate chips in until the mixture has cooled!)
- Melt the stick of butter and 1 bag of chocolate chips together on the stove. Quickly whisk in the malted milk powder.
- Moving quickly, mix the melted chocolate mixture together with the Chex cereal.
- Mix in marshmallows and gently stir them.
- You should cool it completely. Â And then put in the Whoppers and chocolate chips. Â The point is to keep the chocolatey goodness from melting into the other goodness. Â
- Store in an air-tight container (soggy Whoppers are not good!)

- Candy Corn.
Use white chocolate instead of milk, use m & m’s, and candy corn instead of whoppers or marshmallows. - Cheesy Bacon.
Add cheeze-its and bacon bits to your chex mix. Nix the chocolate and milk powder. - Snickers.
Use chopped Snickers instead of Whoppers, and drizzle caramel on the whole shebang. - Better than Sex.
Use mini peanut butter cups instead of Whoppers. Drizzle melted caramel bits (or caramel topping) on the whole shebang.
I truly don’t know how anyone ended up
With a chocolatey mess!! When I stirred in the malted milk, the entire mixture moderately solidified and the crumbled into the cereal mixture. It is perfect! I will definitely make this many more times using variations with candy for the seasons!!
Betty, yes, we had thought it had been adjusted and had heard positively so. I’m sorry that you seemed to have had a problem. That must have been terribly frustrating.
HAS THIS RECIPE EVER BEEN FIXED. I TOO ENDED UP WITH GRAINY CHOCOLATE !!!
I’m so glad to hear that! This is one of my personal favorite treats and I’m glad it’s being enjoyed by others!
Made this for our Leader’s Retreat last year. It was a HUGE hit and it’s been requested for this year as well! So great to have a fantastic ‘go to’ snack/sweet treat recipe. Thank you!
Thanks! We are hearing that a few times and need to sit down and make this a few times to see if we can find the problem. Look for an updated recipe soon!! Thanks for letting us know. We sure don’t want our readers to struggle with something that should be tasty and fun!
I just made this was super excited to take to my nieces and it did not work quite like it should have I also ended up with a fudge like mixture hopefully it still tastes good. I live in Michigan so altitude isn’t an issue.
I think I’m going to have to make this a few times and see if I can recreate what’s happening. Tell me…what altitude are you at? I’m wondering if that’s something that is part of this.
I made this tonight but I too had a melted butter, chocolate chips, malted milk instant fudge-like consistency. I am not a cooking whiz…can you shed some light on what kitchen chemistry reaction I created or what I did wrong? By the way, still delicious just different.
Oh no!!! That’s a bummer!
I live in AZ- the choc chips and butter turned solid like fudge!! Still good but not like I planned!
Oh the pressure :)> Let us know how you like it!
I bought all the stuff yesterday! I can’t wait to make this tomorrow! That is the only time I have to make it but I totally can’t wait!!! YAY!!! Pinterest is just so awesome!
You can find malted milk powder by all of the ice cream toppings…wherever they put those in your particular grocery store. They seem to all have different ideas about where those toppings belong! But…that’s where it will be!
Hi! I have never heard of malted milk powder. Where do you buy that? My kids would love this recipe!
Us too!! One of our favorite treats!
I LOVE whoppers. Can’t wait to make this! Thanks for the great recipe!!!
Thank you for the explanation!! “Love one another”.
We aren’t too sure how this would ship, because it needs to be REALLY tightly sealed or the whoppers go stale. And you find malted milk powder near all of the ice cream toppings in the grocery store (ever store is different)
My dad loves whoppers and I’m thinking this mix will be a good Christmas gift. The issue is that I live in Olympia, WA and he lives in Buffalo, NY. Do you think it would ship well?
Also, where can you find malted milk powder?
Glad you like it! Nestle ethics; they are one of the chocolate companies that is farthest behind in ensuring there is no child labor and fair wages are being given to workers. Not that they are ACTIVELY doing anything unethical…they just don’t have many measures in place to ensure that their cocoa is being produced in a fair, equitable way. And other companies have more measures in place. Even Hershey’s has a plan to start ensuring the cocoa workers get a living wage. We aren’t saying Nestle is evil or anything…just one of those times where there might be a better option that cares for more people. Does that make sense?
This looks very yummy. I’m planning food for a fall baby shower, and this looks promising. I do have a question, though. Can you elaborate on the “Nestle ethics” comment? Thanks.
Looks good
