Well, it’s Super Bowl Sunday in just two days. That snuck up on me! Not that I have any big plans or anything…we’re not really football people. More like music nerds. :) Anyway, I thought I would share a favorite, EASY, kid-friendly snack just in case you need something to whip up for a Super Bowl party. Or even if you just want to whip it up for yourself – muddy buddies.

We love allergy friendly, gluten free muddy buddies. I have fond memories of making this snack in high school and college, and eating wayyyy more of it than I would be comfortable doing now! :) I love making this for my boys to enjoy, using sunbutter in place of peanut butter.

I know this isn’t a groundbreaking recipe or anything, but it is a family favorite, and I did want to share it with you! There are a couple of things you can do to make the original Chex recipe allergy friendly. The main thing is to use sunbutter, (or another seed butter), and the second thing is that I eliminate the butter. You could use vegan butter spread if you want, but I have never used any butter in all the years that I’ve made this, and I think it tastes great. Plus you lower the fat content if you skip the butter.

    Another great recipe! I made these for my teenage son, who I have to say smiled when he ate these. Now my husband, myself and my other son ate them too and loved them. They are soooooo yummy! They were easy to make too!

    If you can’t find sunbutter do you think tahini or sesame paste might also work? I’m based in Asia so sunbutter isn’t possible to find.

    I’m so excited for peanut butter-free Puppy Chow (that’s what we call it where I’m from in NC)! Yum!

    I have ZERO self-control around muddy buddies and these look downright dangerous, Kelly! I would definitely have to make a double-batch. ;)
