Scotcheroos Muddy Buddies combine the flavors of a no-bake cereal bar with an addictive sweet and crunchy snack mix!
This muddy buddies recipe happens when you take the best of scotcheroos and turn them into a snack mix you can eat by the handful. It’s fast, easy, and will cure your sweet tooth!
Sometimes I get the best ideas when I have to adapt and these Scotcheroos muddy buddies are the perfect example! This recipe started with a serious craving for Scotcheroos, one of my favorite treats, but ended up as a new muddy buddies recipe.
I love muddy buddies and Scotcheroos, so why not combine them? And that, my friends, is how this recipe was born.
Sandra’s Tips
This recipe comes with a warning, though: it’s hard to stop at one handful! When I make a batch, I always plan to give some away otherwise it disappears too fast at our home.
What can you add to muddy buddies?
I like to keep them simple, but it’s easy to add other mix-ins to change up this recipe. After you coat the cereal in powdered sugar, try some of these add-ins:
- Mini marshmallows
- Chopped pretzels
- Chopped peanuts, walnuts, or pecans
- Add some sprinkles for color
- Mini chocolate chips or white chocolate chips
Needless to say, this Scotcheroos muddy buddies recipe was a huge hit at our house. No one could resist a handful (or two or three…) of this yummy treat! Make a batch soon – you won’t regret it!
