How to make cookies and cream muddy buddies

Add the chocolate covered Chex to one of the ziploc bags and shake to combine with the powdered sugar and crushed Oreos.
Step 5: Melt the white chocolate chips until smooth, and pour over the other bowl of Chex cereal and gently stir to combine.
Add the white chocolate covered Chex to the other ziploc bag and shake to combine with the powdered sugar and crushed Oreos.
Step 6: Combine the chocolate covered Chex cereal with the white chocolate covered Chex cereal and mix it together to form the cookies and cream muddy buddies.
Storing
Leftover muddy buddies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight bag or container for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks.
These muddy buddies would make a great holiday gathering snack. Every bite is full of chocolatey Oreo flavor!
You could also chop up any leftover Oreos and place them in the Chex mix too, I mean why not?

My husband loves this! I did have to add 1/4 cup of butter to each of the chocolate and white chocolate chips when I was melting them because they were not getting a smooth, pourable consistency. And I added 1/2 tsp of vanilla to each bowl of melted chocolate.
