Love your muddy buddies all year? We bring you a Pesach version!
Remember pre-Pesach 2020? You know, when Covid-19 was new and terrifying? At Between Carpools, we scrambled to bring you as much Pesach content as possible to fill in the gaps of normal life. One incredible resource for us, and for all of you, was the Torah U’Mesorah website created to help parents with educational materials about Pesach. The woman behind that project is Donna Zeffren. We all owe her a real debt of gratitude for her help during that season, and for all she does at Torah U’Mesorah.
But aside from that, we now owe her for this recipe she sent our way last Pesach season. It was too late for us to photograph and present it in time for last Pesach, but it’s all ready to go for this year.
From Donna: My son Mordy was saying he wished there was a Pesach equivalent of Chex Muddy Buddies, which we munch on all through Shabbos.
Stir to finish melting and combining.
and fold in the cereal
The 9×13 pan method is amazing except that you still need to toss them with the confectioners’ sugar in a Ziplock bag – otherwise the powdered sugar dissolves into the chocolate and they stay brown instead of coating evenly.
Seal and shake
until evenly coated.
- 6 boxes Paskesz Choco Fillos (they are non-gebrokts), or similar
- 1 cup almond butter
- 2 pareve Rosemarie bars (broken into pieces)
- ½ cup chocolate chips (or another Rosemarie)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1.5 to 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- Drop chocolate and almond butter into a 9x13 pan and melt for a few minutes in a warm oven. Stir to finish melting and combining.
- Stir in vanilla.
- Add the cereal, stirring gently to coat. Keep stirring until every piece is coated.
- Dump the confectioners’ sugar into a big Ziplock bag, add coated cereal, seal and shake until evenly coated.
these look amazing it is such a good idea i never thought of taking chametz chex muddy buddies and making it pesachdik!
Is it really 6 boxes? or is it cups?
Yes, 6 boxes. They don’t have very much cereal in them!
Yum!! From the other Donna
Donna just so you know my children all call the TU line all the time. My daughter even writes letters to Rabbi Juravel about his stories on the TU phone line. Thank you for all your hard work and this recipe looks amazing!!!!
Note from Donna: when I made these now for this Pesach, I found that the same amount of chocolate/almond butter is enough for 10 boxes of cereal. It yields 3 2lb tubs of Mordy Buddies. So if you are making for a smaller crowd, use 1/2 the choc/almond butter mixture for 5 boxes of cereal. A little goes a long way 🙂
