Homemade Pumpkin Spice Muddy Buddies

Hi Everyone, I have the perfect Fall snack for you: Homemade Pumpkin Spice Muddy Buddies.

Muddy Buddies, also called “Puppy Chow” were staples at soccer practices when I was growing up. It’s one of those snacks that’s easy to make and easier to eat 🙂

I used Brach’s Autumn Mix Mallocreme candy to adorn the top of the bowl and set off the theme of Fall and pumpkin spice.

Are you a cereal “nut” like my husband Eric and I? I realize that I love recipes that involve cereal since we eat it all the time in our house.
