This classic chocolate, peanut butter and powdered sugar Chex Mix recipe has been a beloved part of my kitchen for years ever since my friend Shelby introduced me to this American favorite. Amicably named Muddy Buddies, this sweet and crunchy dessert can be whipped up in under 10 minutes flat. For holidays, you can add colorful flair in the shape of M&Ms, candy corns, candy canes, pretzels and more. Let your imagination run wild, my friends.
