Begin by lining a cookie sheet with waxed paper or parchment paper. Set aside.
Measure out the Chex cereal and pour into a large bowl. Set aside.
Grab a microwave safe bowl and add the chocolate chips, Nutella and butter to it. Pop that in the microwave and cook for about 1 minutes. Remove and stir. Then, microwave for another 30 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth. Since every microwave is different I recommend checking often and stirring to ensure it's smooth and does not overcook. The mixture should be smooth when you mix it, and quite easy to stir.
Next, add the vanilla extract to the Nutella mixture and stir to combine. Pour that mixture over top of the Chex cereal you set aside earlier. Stir until it's combined really.
Grab a large resealable ziploc bag and toss the Chex mixture into it. Then, add the confectioners' sugar to the bag and seal it really well. Start shaking the bag until the confectioners' sugar coats the cereal evenly.
Grab the parchment lined cookie sheet you set aside earlier. Carefully pour the Nutella muddy buddies onto the cookie sheet and spread out as evenly as you can. Allow the muddy buddies to cool on the pan.
Serve or store for later.
