Those of you who visit often know that I love muddy buddies. With fall approaching, what an excellent excuse to make pumpkin pie spice muddy buddies (or pumpkin pie spice puppy chow, if you prefer that term)! I happened upon some White Pumpkin Pie M&M’s. I tossed them with the muddy buddies. But if you can’t find them, the muddy buddies taste fine without them.
Since we have pumpkin pie spice, these are muddy buddies without peanut butter. I also used Cinnamon Toast Crunch instead of Chex. I highly suggest using homemade pumpkin pie spice mix! It tastes much better than store-bought.
If you love muddy buddies as much as me, check out the entire page dedicated to: Puppy Chow (& Barks).
