CAKE BATTER MUDDY BUDDIES [VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE]

INGREDIENTS

• 5 cups gluten-free square-shaped cereal
• 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup almond butter
• 1/4 cup vegan butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 1/2 cup sprinkles
• 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
• 1 cup gluten-free white cake mix (see notes)

PREPARATION

1. Place cereal in a large bowl; set aside
2. Place chocolate chips, almond butter, vegan butter, and both extracts in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low, stirring until melted and smooth. Add to the bowl of cereal and stir gently but thoroughly until cereal is completely coated. Let cool for a few minutes.
3. Add the sprinkles one-third at a time, stirring just enough to incorporate, but before their colors start to run. Transfer mixture to a large, sealable plastic bag (or plastic container). Add the confectioner’s sugar and cake mix, seal the bag and shake to thoroughly coat.
4. Spread mixture on a large baking sheet and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
