It’s that time of year again! The holidays have snuck up on me and my to-do list is a mile long. Even with a lack of free time, I still like to cook up some yummy holiday recipes. One of my family’s favorite treats are Muddy Buddies. They’re sweet, savory, easy to make and almost impossible to put down once you start munching. This year I decided to kick it up a notch and come up with something really decadent… Chocolate Brownie Muddy Buddies.
They also make great gifts for friends and family. My 11-year-old daughter is going to make a batch and give it away in holiday themed gift bags for all of the grandparents.
I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
