Today my family hiked to a local waterfall and let the kids play in the water.....and the mud....to their hearts content. At some point during the afternoon they started calling each other their Muddy Buddies which got us all craving a little Muddy Buddy snack when we got home. These are actually a fun twist on the original Chex Muddy Buddy and I really, really love them! You can't go wrong with butterscotch, peanut butter, and loads of sugar, right?!
Ingredients:
6 cups Chex cereal
1 cup salted peanuts
1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Directions:
Measure out the cereal and the peanuts and put in a large bowl. Set aside. Melt peanut butter and butterscotch morsels on the stove over low heat until creamy and smooth. Stir continuously. Pour melted mixture over cereal and stir gently, so you don't break up the cereal, but so that the cereal pieces are evenly coated. Put the powdered sugar in a gallon sized Ziploc bag and put coated cereal inside. Zip shut and shake until all the pieces are evenly coated with sugar. Pour out and spread cereal mixture onto a baking sheet covered in wax paper to cool. This snack will keep in a tightly sealed container for up to one week (haha! yeah right, not in this house!)
