One of my all-time favorite treats is Cocoa Muddy Buddies. I always loved this Cocoa Muddy Buddies recipe as a kid and I love passing the love of this recipe onto my children. I think what I love most about this recipe is that it’s super simple and very inexpensive to make. I love taking it with me to other people’s houses because it’s always a hit and it can feed tons of people.

The fact that it’s made from cocoa is also a huge hit in my family. Cocoa is also an all-time favorite, so when you mix this all together, it makes a bomb family treat. This is also a recipe we love making for our friends and neighbors. We package it up really nice and hand it out as treats. I hope you enjoy these Cocoa Muddy Buddies as much as we do!
