Measure the Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter, and unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat in 30-second intervals, stirring well each time, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth (about 1-2 minutes total).
Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the Chex cereal and carefully toss with a spatula until all the cereal is evenly coated.
Transfer the coated cereal to a large resealable plastic bag or a container with an airtight lid.
Add the powdered sugar to the bag or container, seal tightly, and shake until the cereal is fully coated in the powdered sugar.
Spread the finished Muddy Buddies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool and fully set.
Once cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Serve and enjoy!
