How to make red white and blue muddy buddies?
To start, you’ll need 6 cups of chex cereal, 1 cup each of red, white, and blue candy melts, and powdered sugar. First separate the Chex cereal into three separate medium sized bowls, with two cups each.
In a small bowl, microwave the red candy melts at half power, in 30 second increments, until you can stir them smooth, stirring after each time. Spoon the melted candy melts over the chex cereal and stir it all together until the cereal is evenly coated. Then add the cereal to a large ziplock bag, and add in 1/3 cup of powdered sugar. Shake the bag until the cereal is evenly coated with the powdered sugar. Spread into a bowl, or onto a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Repeat with the blue, and white candy melts. Mix in some red, white, and blue m&ms, and sprinkles for fun. Stir them all together, or carefully add them separately to a bowl, in sections.
These patriotic muddy buddies can be enjoyed for up to a week if stored in airtight container.

Thank you for the recipe ! I made these for our granddaughter’s birthday since so close to July 4th, I’m sure they will be all gone. Had a hard time trying not to eat all of them while making it. Certainly will be making these over and over. 🥰
