Muddy Buddies

One of my favorite things about making Grandma Joyce’s Chex Mix for The Phoenix is that I have leftover Chex cereal to make this for me.  Muddy Buddies.  Puppy Chow.  Whatever you want to call it, none of its names sound appetizing, but don’t let that fool you.  This is so yummy.

Yes, it’s a common recipe, and extremely easy, but I wanted to share it just in case there’s anyone out there who hasn’t had it before.  It’s worth a try if you’re a fan of the chocolate-peanut butter combination.  And powdered sugar.

But is there anyone out there that doesn’t like powdered sugar?

Anyone?

(I sometimes might even use extra powdered sugar when I make this.  But don’t tell, pretty please.  I don’t want my hips to find out.)
