Peanut Butter Lovers Christmas Muddy Buddies

December 19, 2016 by becky 1 Comment

Peanut Butter Lovers Christmas Muddy Buddies- The best snack for peanut butter lovers! With more peanut butter and the addition of mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Peanut Butter M&M’s, these Muddy Buddies are a peanut butter lover’s dream!

**Plus a FREE Printable for Christmas Muddy Buddy Gift Tags!**

Every Christmas I make a few batches of my Christmas Muddy Buddies for my neighbors. It’s such a great recipe because I made it so you can use an entire box of Chex so you don’t have to measure it out and it makes a lot. This year I had some extra Peanut Butter Holiday M&M’s so I thought it’d be fun to make a peanut butter version! And boy was it delicious! It’s my new favorite way to enjoy Muddy Buddies!

The ingredients aren’t too different from typical Muddy Buddies but I’ve added more peanut butter, use less butter, and included Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Minis and Holiday Peanut Butter M&M’s. Sorry those aren’t in the picture because I forgot! But the bag was already opened from when I made Healthier Peanut Butter M&M Christmas Cookies. So just imagine it there in this picture!

The result was nothing short of AMAZING! The Muddy Buddies had plenty of delicious peanut butter/chocolate coating which made them clumpy. All Muddy Buddy lovers know that is the best! Then the additional taste of chocolate and peanut butter from the peanut butter M&M’s and Mini Reese’s was OUTSTANDING. Seriously a peanut butter lover’s dream! My boys and I loved eating this! And if you want you can cut the Peanut Butter Cups in half. It looks pretty cool cut in half but I kept them whole when I made it.
