If you’re hosting an Easter, or even Spring celebration, you need to make these Easter muddy buddies. They are just so festive. You should probably even make a double batch. They are that good and they will go fast. You use a whole box of either rice Chex or corn Chex, you need 9 cups. Those boxes a slightly more than what you need so I just used the whole box (I divided it evenly) so I didn’t have any leftover because it wasn’t even enough for a bowl of cereal.
Now, of course, you can use any color candy melts you prefer but I have a stash and used yellow and lavender. Use any pastel colors for spring, green, lavender, yellow, pale blue or pink. Something that coordinates with the pretty M&M’s. You could also swap out the colors for different holidays or occasions such as July 4th, Christmas, Hanukkah and graduation. The hardest part is waiting for the mix with the candy melts to set. Once set gently break big clumps apart. I also used my hands to mix each batch. I have food safe gloves to keep the mess at a minimum.
A festive treat, not only for Easter but Spring too.

This would be so fun in little baggies with tags on them for placecard/favors at our Easter brunch! Thanks for sharing with Celebrate365!
What a great recipe! Easy and delicious. It would definitely be a great snack to add to my spring get-together I’m having (I’m sure the kids will love it too). Thanks for sharing.
This is such a fun recipe! I’ll have to try it with the kids, they’ll love it!
This looks like a fun recipe for Easter. I bet my kids would love to munch on this, I would too!
These mixes are always perfect for snacking! They are so versatile, portable and yummy. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
YUM! I love these type of mixes. My son is definitely a fan too. I may just have to make this one for him for Easter!
I’m a huge fan of snack mixes so I can’t wait to try your Muddy Buddies recipe!
I have not seen candy melts in those colors!! This looks almost too pretty to eat. I said ALMOST! LOL
Ahhh, yes! My husband grew up on what he called Puppy Chow. It was brand new to me after meeting him in college. Haven’t made a batch in a couple years. Love the spring colors you’ve got going on here.
These would be perfect for a party!!! So fun and so colorful!
What a fun recipe to serve up on the Holidays. Thanks Ellen
I actually have all of these items (in different colors) in my pantry right now…. other than the Chex. It’s not as common here in Canada. Not every store has it. I have to zip out today and grab a couple items and maybe there will be some today! Looks fun 🙂
