Easy Muddy Buddies Recipe

My daughter loved helping with the measuring of the ingredients and with stirring the melted chocolate.

When the chocolate mixture is fully melted, simply pour it over the cereal.

Then mix it all together.

When you are done stirring, it should look like this. My daughter figured out why they are called Muddy Buddies, "They look like they are covered in mud!"

The coated cereal goes in a large zippered bag. Now it's time for the super fun part - the shaking!

Place on a sheet of wax paper to cool and after 15 minutes you can enjoy your tasty treat! You can refrigerate the leftovers (if you have any) in an airtight container.

For portion control you can serve these in small ramekins or plastic bowls for the kids.

Muddy Buddies - so easy to make with kids and oh so GOOD!

*Couple of warnings - please make sure the mixture is not too hot if you will have children helping you stir and shake the bag. Ours was slightly warm, but not hot. Double check your school's peanut policy before sending these in for a snack at school. We have been enjoying our Muddy Buddies as a snack at home.
