I’ve never been a “go out on New Year’s Eve” kind of person. I’d much rather than stay home. It’s way less crowded! But what I do love, is to have plenty of appetizers and snacks to help celebrate the occasion. The night wouldn’t be the same without them! This year for the sweet side, I made this Hot Cocoa Muddy Mix.
I’ve made a few different Muddy Mix recipes (or Puppy Chow if you will): Peppermint Muddies, Cheesecake Muddy Mix. and Strawberry Cheesecake Muddy Mix.
I love this stuff because I can make it in about 10 minutes or less! It is also a very festive snack that you can change up with just an ingredient or two (like my linked examples above).
I’ve enjoy each muddy mix I’ve tried, but I think this my new favorite! I looked at a few recipes for inspiration, and then I threw this together….I called myself making a “half batch” since a lot of recipes instruct you to use 6 or 7 cups of Chex Cereal (basically the entire box), but even my half batch made a pretty big bowl of stuff; I’d say it’s enough for 2 to 4 people. It’s definitely enough if it’s just you, your spouse, and a couple of kids. (Then again, this stuff DOES stay good for a few days, so even if you’re not having a party and just want a little extra for you and your family, by all means, feel free to double the recipe!)

Yes, I love this bowl and plate! And this mix is definitely a great thing to put in the bowl!
I am in love with muddy buddies but I have never made CHOCOLATE ones before! My goodness, Im not sure it can get much better. I have already pinned this and can’t wait to try it out. Thanks you for the recipe!
Eek…this looks so good. I’ll definitely have to give this a try. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday. Pinned.
