Sweet and crunchy nutella muddy buddies. Have you tried muddy buddies before – aka puppy chow, and no I promise this isn’t actual puppy food! I’ve seen recipes for muddy buddies everywhere. I had never tried them before, and oh man, I can’t believe I’ve never had them before this. It is so addicting – don’t say I didn’t warn you! This recipe is easy – can you tell I’m all about the easy recipes?? Since its still been pretty warm here I’ve opted out of using the oven as much as I can. This recipe makes 9 cups, and trust me, it doesn’t last! You’ll be snacking on this all day. These nutella muddy buddies are also gluten-free. I love that these are gluten-free because most snacks that don’t have gluten are pretty boring and lacking in flavor. Everyone is going to love these – a total crowd pleaser! Bring these to your next party – you might want to even double the recipe! Do you have a favorite muddy buddy flavor? Be sure to let me know!
