Yummy Muddy Buddies!!!

Today I am linking up with Kelly's Korner. She is sharing favorite holiday recipes.  The hardest part is coming up with just one!!!  There are so many things that I make every year around this time, but there is one thing that I can't go anywhere without having to bring.......

Muddy Buddies!!!!! 

Growing up we also called this Puppy Chow, but whatever you call it, it's delicious!!!  They are so simple to make!  Every time this year I end up making DOZENS of batches of Muddy Buddies to take to holiday parties and such.  Here is the recipe as you will find it on the Betty Crocker Website:
