I must admit… Muddy Buddies might be one of my favorite desserts of all time.
Road trip snack? Muddy buddies
Late night snack? Muddy buddies
Girls night in college? Muddy buddies
They are always my go-to!
Right now Will and I are babysitting these 5 adorable little kids while they are parents are in Chicago. Their uncle passed away in a motorcycle accident 10 years ago from yesterday so I thought we needed to drop by a little treat to their cousins to show them we were thinking about them.
While I immediately thought of muddy buddies… I thought why not make them into a fun Halloween mix. Given that Halloween is the best holiday and is right around the corner!!
eeeeek… i’m too excited
so we added:
reese’s pieces
candy corn mix
pretzels
here are your ingredients needed:
9 cups of Rice Chex Cereal
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 boxes of Reese’s pieces
2 cups pretzels (we used Glutino’s! the best pretzels that just so happen to be gluten-free)
2 bags of candy corn (we used one regular and one assorted with the cute pumpkins)
instructions:
in a microwave safe bowl melt butter, peanut butter and chocolate chips together.
microwave for 1 minute, take out and stir, microwave for another 30 seconds, take out and stir.
add vanilla.
pour melted mixture over the 9 cups of rice Chex cereal
mix together with two spatulas
from the bowl, scoop the cereal into a Ziploc bag and toss in the powdered sugar
shake it up so powdered sugar is all over cereal
pour back into a big bowl and add your Halloween mix-ins!
hope you enjoy!
