Almond Croissant Muddy Buddies are an easy Chex cereal snack made with buttery palmier cookies, toasted almonds, creamy white chocolate and almond extract, then coated in powdered sugar.
Servings 12 servings
Ingredients
- 3 Cups Rice Chex or Corn Chex cereal
- 12 Palmier Cookies
- 10 oz Sliced Almonds
- 30 oz Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers
- 4 TBSP Salted Butter
- 2 teaspoons Pure Almond Extract
- 2 1/2 Cups Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Add the sliced almonds to a medium skillet over medium heat. Toast for 3–4 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly golden and fragrant. Transfer to a plate and let cool completely.
- Pour the Rice Chex or Corn Chex cereal to a large mixing bowl. Crumble the palmier cookies into bite-sized pieces over the cereal, then add the cooled toasted almonds. Gently toss to combine.
- Place the white chocolate melting wafers in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
- Melt the salted butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Stir the almond extract into the melted butter, then pour the mixture over the white chocolate wafers.
- Melt the white chocolate. Microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the white chocolate is completely melted and smooth, about 30–40 seconds total. Be careful not to overheat.
- Immediately pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the cereal, palmier cookies and toasted almonds. Gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the coated cereal mixture. Gently toss again until the Almond Croissant Muddy Buddies are evenly covered.
- Allow the Muddy Buddies to cool and the white chocolate to set before serving. Store in an airtight container.
