Chex® Muddy Buddies®

A couple of days ago, my boys and I were bored and wanted a sweet treat. I found all the ingredients for this recipe in my pantry and it kept us busy in the kitchen for a little while. It is a easy recipe for the kids to help practice their measuring skills and the cooking only involves the microwave. One of my sons is not a peanut butter fan so we just made a small batch without peanut butter for him and it turned out fine.
