I took classic Muddy Buddies, and made them better with more peanut butter and chocolate. Adding Reese’s Pieces and Reese’s Minis. After all, you can never have too much peanut butter and chocolate!
If I’m going to watch a sport, it would definitely be basketball. We live near the college my husband and I both attended. Our basketball team was really good while we were in school. In fact, we went to a basketball game for our very first date! Lucky for us they are doing really well again this year.
My kids love any excuse for a party, and for us, game day is all about the food! We love shopping at our local Kroger store (Smith’s). They’ve got a great selection of food and drinks for all our Taste of the Tournament party needs, including all the fixings for these Reese’s Muddy Buddies.
How to Make Reese’s Muddy Buddies
These Reese’s Muddy Buddies are for die-hard chocolate and peanut butter fans, and are sure to be a crowd favorite! (It’s a great flavor combo for popcorn too!)
Start with a small batch of classic muddy buddies. Melt chocolate chips with peanut butter and butter in the microwave. Stir in some vanilla, and coat the chocolate onto cereal squares. Then toss it all in powdered sugar.
Repeat this process with a small batch of the cereal coated in DOUBLE the peanut butter by using peanut butter chips.
The part that makes this recipe extra delicious is the addition of Reese’s Pieces and Reese’s Minis. The candies add a variety of texture and make it a great snack mix.
We loaded our Reese’s Muddy Buddies into little decorative cups for individual snacking. Everyone felt like the MVP!
