There are countless recipes online that help consumers make their own Chocolate Muddy Buddies or Puppy Chow from cereal, but General Mills is now producing a pre-made version of this snack.
General Mills' Chex Mix Mint Chocolate Muddy Buddies are made with corn Chex pieces that have been coated in mint chocolate for a "powdery smooth finish."
While cereal is typically first and foremost thought of as a food to be consumed first thing in the morning, many consumers have concocted their own DIY recipes for on-the-go snacking throughout the day. However, the new Chex Mix Mint Chocolate Muddy Buddies require no measuring, mixing, melting or cleanup, promising to simplify the lives of consumers who are looking for a quick, easy and sweet cereal-based snack.
