Halloween Muddy Buddies (also known as puppy chow) are one of our families’ favorite movie night treats! Throw together a batch of this Halloween Chex Mix and turn on Hocus Pocus for a great family night activity.
Muddy buddies are one of our families’ favorite treats, because they are so easy that the kids can make them all by themselves! I love them because they are simple to customize for various holidays and special occasions. Anything easy and festive is a win in my book.
Halloween Muddy Buddies
To make this Halloween puppy chow, we just used our favorite regular muddy buddy recipe (see below) and then added in candy corn, Halloween colored M&M’s, and little edible eyeballs.
If you enjoy fun and easy holiday treats we have tons of other Halloween ones! Be sure to check out our Mummy Brownies, cute Spider Cookies, Frankenstein Rice Krispy Treats, Halloween Dirt Cups or our Candy Corn Jello!
