CHRISTMAS MUDDY BUDDIES

Muddy Buddies are one of my favorite treats. Everyone I know loves them! When it comes to desserts I usually have plenty of self-control but when I start eating muddy buddies I usually have to keep telling myself to stop at least a few times until I actually do! I was thinking about what to make for neighbor gifts this year when I thought it’d be a fun idea to add Christmas M&M’s to Muddy Buddies. Who doesn’t love Muddy Buddies and M&M’s? It’s a win-win situation!  Christmas Muddy Buddies is a fun treat that can be served at a Christmas party like in this above picture or…

you can package them up for gifts! I adapted my favorite Muddy Buddy recipe to use the whole box and I was able to get 7 gift bags from it. I would have done more at once but I didn’t have a bowl big enough so I made this recipe twice. The scattered sprinkling of the Christmas M&M’s looks very fun and festive.

UPDATE: I now have THE cutest Christmas tags to make giving Muddy Buddies to your neighbors, friends, etc. even more fun! You can find those tags HERE!
