M is for Muddy Buddies

I’m doing this blogging A to Z thing. Today is M.

I was in Target earlier with my daughter; we saw Chex muddy buddies and decided to make our own. Because we needed 9 cups of muddy buddies.

Muddy buddies ingredients:

• 9 cups Rice Chex™, Corn Chex™ or Chocolate Chex™ cereal (or combination) we went with corn
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Whenever I make anything out of the ordinary, I wind up buying most of the ingredients, hoping I’ll use the rest in something else before they go bad. I had the peanut butter, butter, and vanilla in the house; the rest I had to buy. But at least it’s all stuff I’ll use.

Can’t say the same for the 56 bucks worth of spices I bought for chicken tikka masala last weekend. But it was totally worth it.
