Ever year around Christmas time, I spend some extra time in the kitchen! Usually I let Allyson join me but this year I decided I'd make the kids a little treat while they are at school. It worked out great for me because the mess I made with the powdered sugar was.... Well, let's just say that I'm pretty sure I have it mixed in my hair somehow.
I have to take a second before we get into mixing everything and tell you about Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios™. Prior to making this recipe, I had not tried them. So much yumm! They're going to be my new go-to Cheerios from here on out! Mixed in with Chex™, and it's even better! I've got so many ideas going through my head with these 2 products!
Mixing up this recipe is really easy and quite a bit fun. Muddy Buddies™ Chex Mix will be a hit at all of your holiday parties and even a great snack for late night television watching. This recipe makes quite a bit, so divide it up! Some for this party... that party... and Ooo, for you too!
Alrighty, let's get to the reason for this post. Muddy Buddies Time! Laid out in a few steps, you'll have a delicious batch of Muddy Buddies before you know it.
