During the holidays we love to bake and make goodies to give away to our family and friends.  Last year we did cookies, and this year we made Peanut Butter Cheerios™ Chex™ Muddy Buddies™ Party Mix.  We love this stuff when we get it as a gift, so we decided to give it a shot at making it ourselves.  My daughter and I have so much fun when we bake together. So I enjoy this bonding time plus the memories!

This recipe looks so yummy and my grandchildren will love it for the candy. I'm assuming the m&m's could replace the peanut butter cups, they look more festive. I have to admit the halved peanut butter cups would make my day. I'm having a Christmas party the 16th, these would be a great addition.
