I love sweet treats, but I also love salty ones. I’ve been tempted to try making Muddy Buddies for awhile now but fearful I would eat the whole bowl. I was right! They are truly fabulously delicious.
I modified the traditional recipe to incorporate the salty flavour I love.

I just printed the recipe for Sweet & Salty Muddy Buddies, very anxious to try them. I was a bit disgruntled at getting 9 extra pages of stuff, I hope this will be rectified. Easier solution is to take the time to write the recipe and save a lot of paper.

Sorry to hear that – will take a look at it!
