Nutella Muddy Buddies

There is something about Nutella... It might be that I can have a chocolate sandwich and my kids think I'm having peanut butter and jelly just like them for lunch. Or it might be that its just delicious and its even better on cereal covered in powdered sugar.

Cinnamon Chex Mix

Muddy buddies are one of my favorite snacks so when I came across a recipe for a cinnamon version I had to try it. I changed it a bit cause I couldn't find cinnamon chips anywhere. It turned out so delicious!

Chex Mix

I have a small obsession with this treat. I can't stop eating it. I think I may be addicted. My grandma always made it with slivered almonds and coconut. I am not really a fan of those so I switched them out for Mini Reeses Pieces. Not only does it look Halloweeny, but it was a way to get one of my favorite candies into my favorite treat.
