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!
