This Crispy Muddy Buddies recipe is an easy snack recipe that can be whipped up in no time!

Crispy Muddy Buddies Recipe - It Is a Keeper

Muddy Buddies (or Puppy Chow, depending on where you’re from) are one of my family’s favorite snacks.  I have so much fun coming up with new flavor combinations and mix-ins.

My family cannot get enough of the chocolatey-peanut buttery goodness.

Crispy Muddy Buddies Recipe - It Is a Keeper

What really adds a little something extra to this version are the crispy chocolate candies.  They add a little extra crispy, chocolatey goodness to the treat.

I’ve never seen them before.  I’m a Peanut M&M’s® kinda gal.  However, one bite of M&M’s® Crispy and I was hooked!  I just knew they would be the perfect mix-in my for my Muddy Buddy recipe.
