    HOW TO MAKE MUDDY BUDDIES

    Muddy Buddies is a cute name for a rice or corn cereal snack. Simply, melt any kind of chocolate you like ( semi-sweet, milk or white or even butterscotch chips ) with a teaspoon of vegetable oil. Pour mixture over cereal and stir until each piece is well coated. It's even better if the chocolate fills the inside of each cereal piece. Then, toss the chocolate coated cereal with powdered sugar. Spread on a large baking sheet and let dry.

    For this recipe, I added Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa Mix to powdered sugar and tossed in the milk chocolate coated cereal. Serve with mini marshmallows for an adorable and addicting treat! Perfect to fill treats bags with and share with friends and family.
