Hi everyone! Yes, I finally have a St. Patrick’s Day treat for you! Every year growing up my Mom would make a huge corn beef and cabbage dinner on St. Patrick’s Day and I always looked forward to it! I love love love corned beef but we never had any kind of dessert. So, here is one of my all time favorite desserts to make, muddy buddies (or puppy chow as we call it!) it is so easy to make, if you can use a microwave you can make this yummy treat!
Leprechaun Chow {Muddy Buddies}
Now, this may look a littler familiar to you, it is the came concept as my Reindeer Chow, but only this time instead of M&M’s I used the marshmallows out of the Lucky Charms cereal… oh yea!
Leprechaun Chow (Muddy Buddies)
Ingredients
- 1 box Crispix cereal the bigger box
- 1 box Lucky Charms the smaller box
- 2 Cups 1 bag chocolate chips
- 1 Cup unsalted butter
- 1 Cup peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3-5 Cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a microwaveable bowl, place the butter and peanut butter and microwave at 20 second intervals until melted. Mix and add in chocolate chips. If chocolate chips don't melt all the way while stirring, place back in microwave for another 20 seconds.
- In a very large bowl, pour half of the crispix cereal, pour half of the chocolate mixtures and stir gently with a spatula. Keep stirring until coated in the chocolate. Place on a sheet tray and coat the rest of the cereal in the remaining chocolate chips mixture. Place this on the sheet tray with the other batch. Let cool for at least 20 minutes.
- While cereal is cooling, Pick out allllll of the marshmallows from the Lucky Charms. Yes, this is tedious but worth it! Set aside.
- It is easiest to use a paper bag for this next step but a plastic baggie is okay too. Place about a cup of powdered sugar in the bottom of paper bag. Add half of the cereal mixture in the bag and close tightly. Turn it upside down and around, over and over until all of the cereal is coated in the powdered sugar. Open the bag and if not all of the cereal is coated, add some more powdered sugar and shake again. Pour half of the marshmallows in the bag and do one last shake. Store in an air tight container. Do this step again with the remaining mix.
- Serve and enjoy!

So cute! I love Muddy Buddies, but never thought about adding something else to them, such as the marshmallows from a box of Lucky Charms! Very clever 🙂
This looks delish! I’ve just been introduced to the muddy buddies and I think they could be dangerous. I will have to try this!
