Easter Muddy Buddies
Easter is right around the corner and chances are, you are still trying to figure out what to do for Easter dinner.
Possibly even what the Easter bunny is bringing the kids. I can help. This Easter Muddy Buddies Recipe is simple and easy to make for a crowd. It’s even the perfect “Bunny Bait” for the Easter Bunny!
I’ve been making muddy buddies for years they help me with portion control when I want something sweet, but not too much of it. And during that time, I’ve found there is a little trick to making these taste good.
Want in one the secret?
It’s using white chocolate chips! Some people think you can use regular chocolate chips (and you totally can) but the white chocolate chips add to the overall look and taste of a good muddy buddy.
My favorite brand is the Ghirardelli Classic White Chocolate Chips. I’ve found that not only do they taste better than other brands, but they melt easier too making these perfect for making muddy buddies!
