Officially the most addicting snack ever. The end.

French Toast Muddy Buddies - Sprinkle Some Sugar

Brrrrrr. It is FREEZING here in New Jersey. It’s been snowing almost everyday! Did I mention how much I loathe the snow? And the cold, for that matter. I really need to move to like, California or something. I would be fine with never seeing snow again! When it’s cold like this, I love to make little snacks to pick on. (Everything in moderation, right? 😉 ) These French Toast Muddy Buddies are absolutely the most addicting snack ever. Who knew that plain old Rice Chex cereal could turn into something so amazing? Whoever created the muddy buddy/puppy chow idea, I love you. Actually, while we’re on that subject.. what do you guys call this stuff? Muddy buddies? Puppy chow? I never know what to call it so I kind of call it both. This snack mix is supercharged with cinnamon and maple flavor. To really go with the whole french toast theme, I used french toast cereal in the mix. I happened to have some in my pantry, which originally gave me the inspiration for this recipe!

French Toast Muddy Buddies - Sprinkle Some Sugar

Wait, rewind.. have you ever had french toast cereal? Doesn’t it remind you of your oh-so-sugary childhood?! I can’t believe that brought it back. I have just been staring at it in my pantry for about a week so I finally decided to just use it in a recipe rather than have a big bowl of the sugary stuff. It is so, so freakin good though and goes just perfectly with the flavors of this snack mix! I really, and I mean really tried to stay away from this stuff but it is just so. addicting. I kept coming back for “just one more handful.. just one more handful” and before I knew it almost every time I would pass this delicious stuff staring me in the face on the counter, I was picking at it. That’s when I gave it away to some of my family because I clearly have no self control.

You will love the flavors of cinnamon, maple and of course french toast in these yummy muddy buddies. This is the best combination I’ve made yet!

PRINT RECIPE
Servings 5 cups

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups Rice Chex Cereal*
  • 8 oz vanilla Candiquik
  • 3 tsp cinnamon divided
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
  • 1 cup French Toast Cereal

Instructions
 

  • Measure out cereal into a large bowl and set aside.
  • In a large zip lock bag, add confectioner's sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Mix it up so cinnamon is evenly distributed and set aside.
  • In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt candiquik in the microwave until completely smooth and pourable. Stir in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and maple syrup. Pour this mixture onto the rice chex cereal and quickly but gently stir to coat every piece entirely. Be sure to get every last crevice if you can because the sugar will not stick on parts that aren't covered well.
  • Carefully dump mixture into zip lock bag with sugar and cinnamon, close the bag, and shake back and forth until all cereal has a nice even coat of sugar. This step is optional, but I like to dump the mixture into a strainer and give it a little shake to remove excess sugar.
  • In a large bowl, layer the french toast cereal and muddy buddies together and serve.

    Oh goodness, that looks so good. I know we’d love these because we all love french toast. Thanks so much for sharing, I’ll have to try this for my next party. I try to keep rice chex on hand because the kids love it with milk (and so do I).

    This looks like a fun and easy snack to make. I enjoy making easy snacks with my kids. Getting them involved in the process is so much fun. Now let me tell you… I am pregnant and this I would make this snack alone just so I don’t have to share. ALONE! I’ll be heading to the market this weekend for ingredients. Ha!

    Ah I just made some lemon muddy buddies last weekend for when my husband had over a bunch of his guy friends to watch one of the hockey games. It was definitely a hit, and superrrr easy to make, right? So tasty.

    Can you believe that I’ve never had a muddy buddy? I do believe I am truly missing out. These look delicious, and it looks super easy to make. And I think I’d keep coming back for more and more!

    My son fills a snack size baggie of muddy buddy daily! On occasion he fills a bag for me as well 🙂 Super yummy! What a great twist to make french toast muddy buddies can’t wait to test them out.

    OMgoodness…those tiny French Toast pieces look quite realistic for their small size. I haven’t had the French Toast cereal before, but I bet it tastes good with its cinnamon-y flavor. I haven’t even tried any Muddy Buddies yet. I think I’m missing out on a real treat.

    Oh my gosh, I love french toast… and I love Muddy Buddies (or more so, making puppy chow). This sounds like such a great combination that I’ve never heard of before! I’ll have to give this a try 🙂

    OH YUM! This looks amazing, can you believe I’ve never made muddy buddies? They look delish, and super easy to make. I’m putting together a list of recipes for a party we’re having for Easter and this looks like the perfect addition!

    Oh wow! Yum! Who doesn’t love French toast! This looks like it would be a great snack for my girl especially when she is running out the door trying to catch her bus. Love that it is so simple.

    This is a great remix on cereal! I am loving the photos! I am not much of a breakfast cereal like I was a child but every once in a while I love great cereal!
