Fact: a muddy buddy crispy treat a day has been shown to increase happiness. Or at least it has increased mine. I have been consuming these squares at an alarming rate. But darn they are good. So good. So satisfyingly, chewy, sticky, sweet. So packed with peanut butter and chocolate goodness then glued together with marshmallows. I dare say you have yet to really live until you have made these treats.
My introduction to muddy buddies came from my mother-in-law. I both love and regret when she gives us a batch. Mostly I love but sometimes a little regret sneaks in after a whole tin disappears in 2 days. I have decided they make excellent hiking snacks. They are quite good for breakfast and lunch and after dinner. And oh my goodness, they are stunning when melted together with marshmallows and butter.
