Cookie Butter Chex Mix Details
Flavor: Sweet! The cookie butter and powdered sugar in this recipe give the Chex mix a sweet and caramel flavor.
Time: This Chex mix comes together in about 10 minutes! No time at all to make the ultimate snack!
Level of Difficulty: Super simple! This Chex mix is about as simple as recipes come. All that this recipe takes is a little melting in the microwave and mixing together.
Ingredients
- The Lotus Biscoff Cookies are chopped into fine pieces in the food processor to add a little crunch and a lot of flavor to the Chex Mix!
- I like to use a mix of Rice Chex, Corn Chex and Chocolate Chex for this recipe. Using Chocolate Chex will make the recipe sweeter. Use a mix of what you have and what you can find! I have found that not all grocery stores carry Chocolate Chex.
- White Chocolate Chips are melted with the Biscoff Cookie Butter, Vanilla Extract and the Coconut Oil to coat the cereal pieces.
- The Powdered Sugar is combined with the chopped Biscoff Cookies to adhere to the melted cookie butter mixture on top of the Chex!

Substitutions and Variations
- Substitute Speculoos Cookies or Speculoos Spread for Biscoff Cookies or Biscoff Cookie Butter. Trader Joes also makes their own Cookie Butter that would work in this recipe.
- Use a variation of Chex mix cereal. Use a mix of Chocolate Chex, Rice Chex, Corn Chex, Wheat Chex or even Peanut Butter Chex for a unique taste.
- To make this Muddy Buddies recipe less sweet, use half cookie butter and half creamy peanut butter to coat the cereal.
Equipment
- Food Processor: If you do not have a food processor, place the cookies in a large ziploc bag. Use a rolling pin to crush cookies into fine crumbles. Here is the one that I use!
- Microwave Safe Bowl: Alternatively, you can melt the butter, chocolate chips and coconut oil together on the stove top over low heat.
- Large Bowl
- Wax Paper
- Large Cookie Sheet
