my muddy buddy...

is always wondering something.  Recently, it was "what's that?" about the recipe for Chex Muddy Buddies he saw on the back of the box at my feet (yep, you read that right).  Not usually one to love cooking except for cracking the eggs (and even that's sporadic), I decided to jump on this spark of interest, and into the kitchen we went.  Wearing his apron and his fire hat sweetened the deal.

I used natural peanut butter so they'd be healthy.  Kidding!
















 We measured, we poured, we stirred.

















We did hit a bump in the road when the concept of the chocolate chips synthesizing with the rest of the ingredients really sunk in.   

















 But I'll MISS them! 

















Shaking the bag was a good time, but not as much fun as seeing the MBs' appearance in his MTM--though this particular expression belongs to the cheddar popcorn off in the corner.






















Yes, those are spinach leaves.  And no, he did not like them.  And yes, that is puzzle cheese.

Tomorrow, a tutorial.
