Chex Muddy Buddies

Okay, the 3 of us love this stuff...I hadn't made it in many years...thinking it was about 10 years ago...seriously...I remember it tasting great but being messy to make...well, no more! This is soooo great--microwavable and put in a giant Ziploc bag! About a month or so ago, I made it with Darlene and my kids...soooo fun and loved by all! So, it's become our new obsession...
