Hi. My name is Carrie and I am addicted to Muddy Buddies. Ok phew. The first stage is admitting it. Unfortunately, I have also accepted the fact that I will always be addicted! What is it with these that are so delicious? I even had to get a bag on our most recent road trip. They weren’t the same as a fresh batch made at home, but they still were great! Someone told me a few weeks back when I posted the last muddy buddy recipe that I should make a mint kind. I gladly took on the challenge. Holy yum! I loved the mint flavor in these!

How To Make thin mint puppy chow
