Move over popcorn! There is a new snack in town!
Not really though. It's not like you have never heard of muddy buddies aka puppy chow. But! We are talking a new flavor today.
Enter Biscoff and milk chocolate.
It's been 2 whole months since we had muddy buddies to enjoy. It's a traditional snack around Christmas for us. And popcorn is a go to almost everyday snack. But it was time to shake things up and make something different.
Besides, if you remember from this post, I have 8 jars (well, 5 left actually) of Biscoff cookie spread and I am trying to find ways to enjoy it. Besides via spoon right into my mouth. 🙂 Don't judge! I know I am not alone! 🙂
Would you like to save this recipe?
We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!
You want to know why you don't see a huge bowl in the picture? Because it's all that was left 5 minutes after I made this. And no! It wasn't only me. 🙂 Well, mostly but I had accomplices. My girls. Boys are not into Biscoff apparently.
But who's complaining? We watched "Secret of the Wings" and enjoyed this snack this weekend. We had a blast! Boys were playing Hot Wheels. They are different like that. 🙂
Let me tell you right quick about this snack. Here is the deal with cookie spread: it's tricky to use in baking. You have to know it won't solidify or harden whatever you do. I tried adding coconut oil to it in hopes it would harden. It won't. So i decided to add some chocolate (hello, never enough chocolate around here!) and see if I can still enjoy the Biscoff flavor. Milk chocolate in my opinion is better here than semi-sweet or dark because it won't overpower the cookie spread. I added it to taste it, not to just say I used it.

Okay, I *think* I could put the spoon of Biscoff down long enough to make this recipe. The name, Muddy Buddies, is too cute to resist. 😀

Mmmm... yes... move over popcorn. 🙂 I may even mix some salty popcorn with this so I have a salty-sweet treat. 🙂
CrunchyCreamySw says
Oooh! This is a brilliant idea! Thanks, Ramona!

Why is it that "I'm" the only one in the house that eats the snack food? The hubby and boys don't even seem to notice it...and my daughter just does her own thing. This would be perfect for my book club gathering...just so it doesn't all go into my tummy 🙂
CrunchyCreamySw says
Yes! I would triple the recipe then 🙂 Thanks, Lizzy!

I've never tried Biscoff spread. I think I'm afraid to buy it because I know what I'll do. I'm certainly not one to judge!
CrunchyCreamySw says
Do it! Do it! lol You will love Biscoff, Marcie! Thank you!
