Ingredients:
4 c. rice Chex cereal
12 oz. milk chocolate chips
15 caramel squares (or 1/2 c. caramel bits)
1 Tbsp. heavy cream
6 shortbread cookies
1/2 c. powdered sugar
2 Twix bars, chopped
5 caramel squares (optional for final drizzle)

Directions:
In a big bowl, place Chex cereal.  In a microwave safe dish, or over low heat on the stove, melt the milk chocolate chips.  If in the microwave, melt 30 seconds at a time until smooth and be careful not to let burn and clump.

Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal and mix until the cereal is completely covered in the chocolate.

Melt the 15 caramel squares and heavy cream.  Drizzle this over the chocolate covered cereal.  Stir lightly getting all of the cereal pieces drizzled in caramel.

Pulse the shortbread cookies in a food processor until fine.  Combine with the powdered sugar in a gallon sized bag.  Dump the cereal and shake to coat in the powdered sugar shortbread cookie crumbs.  Add the chopped Twix bars to the bag.

If you want the final caramel drizzle, lay them out on a parchment covered cookie sheet.  Melt the 5 caramel squares and drizzle on the top of the muddy buddies.
