How to Make Chex Muddy Buddies
Since my kids are all about the chocolate, especially during the holidays, I thought we might whip up some Muddy Buddies!
I love this time of year. The fall weather is wonderful, the colors outside are beautiful, and the air feels fresh and crisp. Soon, my kitchen will be filled with holiday baking and treats, along with family traditions, new and old.
Do you have any favorite holiday traditions from your childhood? There’s something heartwarming about continuing to do what you used to do with your parents or grandparents at this time of year. The memories they helped you create come alive when you share them with your children, and someday, they’ll carry on the same.

I don’t know what it is about Chex that makes it so versatile in both sweet and savory recipes, but we can’t get enough! This year, I’m bringing that tradition back to my kids by making a tasty recipe that I KNOW you and your family will love! It’s time to Mix up the Holiday Magic with Chex!
