Snickerdoodle Muddy Buddies happened almost by accident. It was a combination of a sale and family visiting. We had family coming to visit. They have small kids, so I wanted to provide a variety of breakfast options. Among the three cereals (I also provided oatmeal, eggs, bacon, and juice…I have a tendency to overdo things), I wanted a kid-friendly option. So I grabbed Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Which was a hit!
But since it was on sale (buy 1, get one free), I decided to grab the second box. Leaving me with a bunch of leftover Cinnamon Toast Crunch. What to do? Well, what I always do. Turn to my favorite quick and easy dessert/snack: muddy buddies! And Snickerdoodle Muddy Buddies were born.
If you’re like me and love muddy buddies, check out the entire page dedicated to it: Puppy Chow (& Bark). If you’re wondering about the bark…two reasons. 1) It’s also quick and easy. 2) Puppies bark. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. (haha).
