  1. What a great idea, I love the white and dark chocolate mix. You could probably add in different candies for the varying holidays, too! Pinned :)

    Looks yummy. Maybe add some peanuts or pretzels for crunch and salt! Or maybe candycorn? The options are endless.

  3. Becky says:

    YUM!!! I know these as Muddy Buddies…but this is an excellent way to make them holiday appropriate!!! Thanks!

  4. Sometimes, the treats don’t need to be very fancy. This would get devoured at my house!

  5. Looks awesome! I’m making it this weekend for a family get together!

    Looks so yummy!! Just pinned!

  7. I couldn’t wait to try this, so I made it the other day. Yum! I love the two different colors. I used Cinnamon Chex for the white chocolate pieces and that gives it a little extra lovely flavor. Thanks for a great recipe!
