Key Lime Muddy Buddies

Key Lime Muddy Buddies are inspired by the flavors of a classic key lime pie. They’re tangy and sweet, with graham cracker cereal pieces throughout. Perfect for parties or movie night snacking!  

Usually once Valentine’s Day is over, I jump straight to green recipes (for St. Patrick’s Day). Mostly because I love all things lime and it’s an excuse to share that addiction with you.

Today’s green recipe is so easy, and perfect for snacking. Key Lime Muddy Buddies have that citrus-lime flavor we all know and love, alongside creamy white chocolate and graham cracker cereal pieces.

I don’t know about you, but when I have a lime treat, I want to really taste the lime, so I went with lime gelatin powder and some extra confectioner’s sugar to coat these muddy buddies with. The white chocolate chips mimic the creamy sweetened condensed milk part of a key lime pie, and the graham cracker cereal pieces mimic the crust.

These Key Lime Muddy Buddies turned out great. My kids kept fighting over the bowl. I’m thinking it would be fun to make some to put in their school lunches sometime too.

The best thing about muddy buddies in general, is that they are so easy to make, and they feed a crowd. These would be great for a party or a movie night at home. Enjoy my lime-loving friends!
