Muddy Buddies

I have not posted a recipe in a while, and then this afternoon on a whim the kids and i decided to make Muddy Buddies. So i took a few pictures and decided to share. I wish i could really share because i should not be eating all of it.

The kids both helped out...Avery likes to do the measuring, pouring and mixing and when it looks like fun Mitch wants to be involved...that is why he is the one with the bag of cereal and powdered sugar. While i was shaking it he just kept watching me and giggling. I figured the kid wanted a chance and i think he enjoyed it.

Here it is, in all it's chocolaty, peanut buttery, crunchy glory. You should try some.
