Red Velvet Muddy Buddies

Today we have another Valentine's Day post. Yesterday Leo and I made some delicious red velvet muddy buddies. I found the idea on Pinterest. This was a fun alternative to regular muddy buddies and was a nice festive snack. 

1 box Rice Chex cereal

1 1/2 cups white chocolate melts or chips

1/2 cup chocolate melts or chips (we used mini chocolate chips)

4 oz cream cheese, room temp

3 Tbsp. milk

2 cups Red Velvet Cake mix

1 C. powdered sugar

1 bag red M&M's or other candies

Heart sprinkles or any pink/red Valentine sprinkles 

Pour Chex cereal into a large bowl.

Mix the chocolate together and melt in microwave at twenty second intervals. Stir in cream cheese and milk once chocolate is fully melted.

Mix the chocolate into the cereal, being careful not to crush it.

Note: The chocolate mixture will get very thick when the cream cheese is added.

Add cake mix and powdered sugar to a large tupperware (with a lid!) or a ziplock bag. Pour in half of the cereal mixture and shake until fully coated. Repeat.

Put muddy buddies in a large baking pan to cool. Stir in candy and sprinkles. 

Place muddy buddies in treat bags and enjoy!
