I found some cherry morsels on sale in the baking aisle & knew I could make something yummy with them. I decided to make muddy buddies because I wanted something for my kids to munch on for Valentine’s Day this week. These are easy to pack in a school lunch or put in a ziplock baggie to give away to friends. Plus, who doesn’t love muddy buddies? I am really starting to love all the different variations you can make & I promise I will have more fun options like this in the future. I am just getting started!

    1. If you can put it in a tin or other hard container and fill it nice and full, I think it will be just fine. Good luck!

  3. I am so excited to make these. I bought the cherry chips last night so I’ll be making them today or tomorrow. I’ll be changing it up a bit to make Strawberry Cheesecake and I’ll let you know how it turns out! I’m going to crush up some Freeze Dried Strawberries and combine it with the cheesecake and powdered sugar mix and see how the combo works. I think I’ll do half white chocolate chips to take a bit of the cherry edge off. Can’t WAIT! Thanks again!
