Muddy Buddies + Butterfingers = lethal weapon
Butterfinger Muddy Buddies Recipe
Muddy Buddies (aka Puppy Chow) is one of my favorite treats. Crunchy, sweet and bite-sized. What’s not to love? When you add Butterfinger to the mix, you have a lethal weapon. I only make this special treat once and awhile, because my family and I….. ok, who am I kidding, I end up eating the WHOLE batch in one sitting! HA!
NOTE: Keep this recipe in mind during the Thanksgiving / Halloween season. Trick-or-Treat bags will be FULL of bite-sized Butterfinger bars, which work out perfect for this recipe!
