Notes
- Servings: The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of .5 cup of muddy buddies. Actual calories will vary and are dependent on the ingredients used.
- Melting Wafers: I prefer to use Ghirardelli Vanilla Melting Wafers instead of white chocolate, but you can use white chocolate if desired.
- Peanut Butter: If you're unable to use peanut butter, try almond or cashew butter. Sunflower butter is another option, but it has a strong flavor. Cookie butter may also work. Anything other than peanut butter is going to change the flavor. Use your favorite alternative!
- Mix-ins: Any of the candy add-ins can be changed. This is especially great if you want to switch things up for other holidays.
- Cool Time: This snack mix is technically done after mixing, but the coating may still be soft from mixing. To help it set faster, pop it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes then add the candy and marshmallows.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for about 1 week. It's best within 2-3 days of being made.
