Celebrate St. Patty's Day with this quick, easy, and super delicious St. Patty's Day Muddy Buddies recipe!
Hey, y'all! Can you believe it's already March? March! That's insane! I know it's super cliche but it seems like we just celebrated Christmas, doesn't it? I'm a huge fan of quick and easy treats (heck, I'm a fan of quick and easy anything!) like my Luck of the Irish S'more Leprechaun Hats and Chocolate Covered Bunny Butts.
Last year I made an absolutely insane Hippity Hop Mix (recipe coming soon!) for a few of my co-workers. It was such a hit that I decided to create a similar recipe for St. Patrick's Day. One of my favorite things about this recipe, aside from the fact that it's insanely easy, is that it is gluten-free. Shout out to my GF Friends out there! I do have to warn you that this stuff is dangerously addictive. You won't be able to stop eating this delicious snack!
The recipe couldn't be any easier. You simply melt a bag of chocolate melts in a medium-size bowl. Afterward, you add a teaspoon of vanilla to the chocolate and stir in a few cups of Chex Mix until they are coated evenly. Next, you toss the Chex Mix into a bag with 2 cups of Powdered Sugar and give it a good shake. Allow the chocolate to cool and serve or store in an airtight container until later.
These little guys make a great gift for your co-workers and friends. In fact, that's exactly what I'm doing with this batch! I put a bit of mix into a small mason jar and tied a little green ribbon around it.
