When I saw this recipe I thought it would be really fun to make with Xavier. He loves to help in the kitchen as much as he can, and I wanted something new to do with him. I've always been a fan of Muddy Buddies, and thought the variation would be worth a try. The original called for vanilla baking chips, but I used white chocolate instead, and they turned out fabulous! So try this one out with your special little person and watch them gleefully shake all the yummy goodness at the end. (Tip: Use a bag smaller than recommended so that "mommy can have a turn" and keep some of the cereal intact. Xavier's bag got a little crunched in the process, and there were lots of little pieces.) These were gone in a little over a day, so they must be good!
