How about that for a Wednesday?
It’s been way too long since I last made muddy buddies, but there’s a good reason for that. You see, I’m addicted, more like obsessed, with this snack. Set the bowl in front of me and I’ll devour it ALL. I have no shame. Nope, none at all.
So, even though I crave this tasty treat quite often, my willpower takes over and I move onto some other form of dessert. But, I figured that it’s time to cave and whip up another batch since St. Patrick’s Day is almost here. I mean, I am a food blogger, so that gives me the perfect excuse to make muddy buddies. Am I right?
And speaking of muddy buddies, do you call it that, or puppy chow? I always grew up calling it the latter, but as I got older, it seemed as if no one knew what puppy chow was. So, I converted to muddy buddies.
But, let’s get back to the most important part: these Mint Brownie Muddy Buddies! How about this for an easy and delicious St. Patrick’s Day treat?
