Muddy Buddies
 
Ingredients
  • 5 Cups Rice Chex Cereal ~ 23 ounce bag milk chocolate chips ~ 1 cup caramel bits ~ 2 TBSP Heavy Cream ~ 12 Shortbread Cookies (Sandies or Lorna Doones) ~ 1-1/2 cup powdered sugar ~ 3 packages of Twix Bars, chopped (6 sticks)
Instructions
  1. In a big bowl place 5 cups chex cereal.
  2. In a microwave safe dish, melt the chocolate chips for 30 seconds at a time until smooth. Be sure and stir after each 30 seconds.
  3. Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal and stir until all the cereal is covered.
  4. Melt the caramel and heavy cream in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time.
  5. Pour over the chocolate covered cereal mix.
  6. Lightly fold everything together so that it all mixes together.
  7. Using a food processor pulse the cookies until fine. If you don't have a food processor just place in a ziploc bag and roll over it with a can or rolling pin.
  8. Add the powdered sugar to the bag and dump in the chex mix and shake until all the cereal is covered. I did about a half at a time.
  9. Add the twix to the mix and then serve. I placed them in festive individual sized bags.
