FOR THESECRET RECIPE CLUB THIS MONTH, I WAS ASSIGNED A BLOG CALLED, “EVERYDAY INSANITY-TACKLING LIFE ONE BROWNIE RECIPE AT A TIME.” CINDY HAS A SCRUMPTIOUS BLOG THAT YOU DEFINITELY NEED TO CHECK OUT! MANY OF HER BROWNIE RECIPES LOOKED DELISH BUT I WANTED SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT. I READ THROUGH MANY POSTS AND THEN I SAW THEM! THE MUDDY BUDDIES!!!! I HAVE NEVER MADE THESE BUT KNEW I HAD EATEN THEM AND LOVED THEM ONCE UPON A TIME. THEY WERE ALSO GLUTEN FREE WHICH WAS PERFECT FOR MY HUBBY!! MY ONLY VARIATION WAS TO ADD SOME MINI M AND M’S AND I SERVED THEM IN CUTE CUPCAKE LINERS I HAD! SO HAPPY I HAD CINDY’S BLOG BUT CINDY I THINK I AM MAD AT YOU…WHY? BECAUSE I CANNNNNOT STOP EATING MUDDY BUDDIES!!!! HEE HEE

Oh dear! I’m not sure if I should even make these. January might be a very tight clothing monther otherwise. Happy new follower 🙂
Rhonda says
I’ve never had a ‘muddy buddy’ but they look addictive, or course the addition of chocolate makes it more addictive.
Cindy says
Glad you got to spend some time at my blog. Muddy Buddy’s are a wicked good treat. You better plan on serving them to a crowd or you just might eat about 5 servings. Whatever you do don’t look at calorie info on the Chex box. It just might ruin your day.
Thanks again!

I’ve got to say I have never heard of Muddy Buddy’s before, but they look mighty tasty!!

I keep hearing about Muddy Buddy’s, but I have never had any. I can’t wait to try these. They look great!
Chris says
I believe these ‘muddy buddy’ treats will be made at my house very soon!
Great pick for SRC!
Lynne @ 365 Days of Baking says
Muddy Buddy’s are SO good and haven’t had them since childhood – what memories!
Good SRC post!

What a great recipe and it is right up your alley. I don’t think I have ever had this, but it looks similar to something called “Puppy Chow.”

Mmmmmm!!! Muddy Buddies! I love those things. We don’t get them in Canada, but I live close to the US border and I definitely make trips down there just to pick up a few bags of these. Glad I can make them myself now. 🙂
Jo says
We made this when I was growing up so often for Christmas, I haven’t had any in so long! I will have to bring back the tradition this year. Great pick!
Cara @ The Boys Made Me Do It says
exact reason I’ve never made muddy buddies! I would eat it all myself!
Veronica says
Gotta love muddy buddies (or as we usually call it, puppy chow)! It IS addictive!
