Halloween Muddy Buddies Party Mix

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?
