Ingredients For Dirt Cake Muddy Buddies

Mix up this quick and simple recipe by combining just 5 easy ingredients:

• Chex Cereal – My favorite to use is Rice Chex. However, you could also use Corn Chex or even Chocolate Chex cereal!
• Mini Oreos – Some of the mini Oreos will be coated with the cereal and the remaining will be mixed in as-is.
• Melting Wafers – I used dark chocolate but for a sweeter mix, you could use milk chocolate! Instead of wafers, you could also use dark or milk chocolate chips.
• Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix – The secret ingredient that makes this snack mix super delicious!
• Gummy Worms – A must-have for every edible dirt recipe!

How To Make Dirt Cake Muddy Buddies

1. Combine the cereal with a portion of the mini Oreos.
2. Melt the dark chocolate wafers in the microwave until smooth.
3. Coat the Chex and mini Oreos with the melted chocolate, stirring until evenly coated. Afterward, sprinkle on the powdered pudding mix, tossing until coated.
4. Add in the gummy worms and remaining mini Oreos.
