Ingredients
  

Muddy Buddies Base
  • 10 ounces dark chocolate melting wafers
  • 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 1 box instant vanilla pudding mix (unprepared)
  • 1 box instant chocolate fudge pudding mix (unprepared)
Mix-ins
  • 4.5 cups movie theater popcorn (popped and cooled)
  • 0.5 cup Milk Chocolate M&Ms
  • 0.5 cup Peanut M&Ms
  • 0.5 cup chocolate covered peanuts
  • 0.5 cup Buncha Crunch
  • 0.5 cup Reese's Pieces
  • 0.5 cup Milk Duds

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Start by adding the chocolate melting wafers to a microwave safe bowl and microwaving for 45 seconds. Stir, then microwave for another 45 seconds. If the chocolate isn’t fully melted at that point, microwave for 15 second increments, stirring in between each, until it’s fully melted.
  2. Pour the Chex cereal into a large bowl then add the chocolate to the bowl of cereal and gently stir with a rubber spatula until everything is evenly coated.
  3. Sprinkle the powdered pudding mix onto the cereal then toss until all of the cereal is coated completely.
  4. Let the muddy buddies set for 10-15 minutes to let the chocolate set.
  5. Once the muddy buddies are dry and set, pour them into a large bowl along with the popcorn, chocolate covered peanuts, and candies. Stir gently to mix everything together.
  6. Serve immediately and store any leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

This snack mix doesn't need to be refrigerated, just kept at room temperature in an airtight container. These will last for weeks at room temperature. Trust me, they'll be gone way before that!
