These Funfetti Cake Batter Buddies are so easy to make and full of flavor. I may say they are even better than our Chocolate and Peanut Butter Muddy Buddies.

Chex Funfetti Cake Batter Buddies Recipe

Do you have 10 minutes? Then I HIGHLY recommend running into the kitchen and throwing this Chex Funfetti Cake Batter Buddies together.

It is CRAZY addicting, so you might want to double the batch. My husband loves all things made with a Funfetti cake mix, so I made it for him but ended up eating most of it myself. Trust me, you are going to LOVE this recipe.

It’s great for game night, movie night, midnight munchies, or just anytime you are craving a crunch snack. It only requires 5 simple and inexpensive ingredients, that you may already have on hand. I may even say these are better than our original chocolate and peanut butter Muddy Buddies

Only three simple steps to make this Cake Batter Buddies recipe:

Start with your cereal. We prefer and recommend to use Chex cereal. It captures the white chocolate and holds in the powdered sugar and cake mix a little better.

Add your melted chocolate. You can use vanilla almond bark, or white chocolate chips.

Can I make these Cake Batter Buddies using different cereal?

For this recipe, we like to use Chex Mix because it allows the white chocolate to settle into the cereal, and the cake batter to cling to it, giving this more flavor as well as crunch.

We have never made this recipe using a different cereal, but it would still work. The powdered sugar and the cake mix might not stick as well, but it would still be delicious.

Here are a few cereals we recommend you trying, with this recipe:

Cheerio’s (Honey Nut, or Frosted)
Frosted Flakes
Life
Golden Grahams
Rice Krispies

Can I use white chocolate instead of almond bark in this Cake Batter Buddies recipe?

You could most definitely use white chocolate in place of Almond Bark. We recommend the almond bar, because it calls for quite a bit of white chocolate, and the flavor has a little more almond taste to it, but white chocolate would work just as well.
