Whether you enjoy cookies and cream muddy buddies as a snack, movie night treat or make favors for a party, it’s an delicious version of a favorite treat.
Many of my friends who have kids have been having movie nights for years. Snacks are a big part of the night. We started movie nights many years ago and now that our kids are home for the unforeseeable future we are planning more and more.
As I think many families are looking for something to do at home, I thought a giveaway for Redbox movie codes would be a fun idea. So below you will find a variety of ways to enter to win Redbox codes for 10 DVD rentals. Be sure to read the terms so you understand the rules. Also, share this post with friends so they can enter too!
While you can probably use the corn Chex, I prefer the rice Chex. I think it’s more flavor neutral than the corn variety. No Oreo’s? You can use the Nabisco chocolate wafers. Use your favorite chocolate but make sure it’s fresh. Why? Older chocolate is fine for chocolate chip cookies but doesn’t melt well.
This recipe for cookies and cream muddy buddies came from my good friend Sandi. She’s my cooking buddy. We take cooking classes together, bounce ideas off of each other and just talk about recipes. This cookies and cream snack mix has become a new favorite and most requested lately. We like my white chocolate cranberry popcorn for movie, or even game night as well as Easter muddy buddies too.
You may know this treat by it’s other name, puppy chow. There are so many varieties and flavors. Some are made with peanut butter but this one is not, making it safe for those with peanut allergies. Store the mix in a tightly sealed container however, I’ve used a zip lock bag as well.
