Looking for a fun Halloween party mix that everyone will love? Well, look no further. This Halloween Muddy Buddies Party Mix is delicious and easy to make. I promise – it won’t last long!
First, do you call it muddy buddies or puppy chow because I see it called both.
Well, that isn’t really important because it’s delicious no matter what you call it. I’m just mad at myself for not making this stuff sooner.
I can’t stop eating it! The other morning I ate it for breakfast with my coffee and I didn’t feel guilty about it at all. It is cereal right?:)
Not only is it easy to make but guess what? You get a little arm workout while making it. So now I can work out while making a fun sweet treat – Woohoo! This is how I like to work out.
And it’s the perfect party mix. I made a batch for Halloween and I’m going to be making a batch for every holiday. How fun would this be for Christmas and 4th of July?
