I am warning you right now, this was ridiculously good…and addicting. I made it to bring to a party, but with everything else I was bringing, I left it at home on the counter. Whoops! When we got to the party I realized that I had forgotten it and was pretty bummed.
When we got home that night I saw it sitting there, all lonely and forgotten, and suddenly I was very happy about my oversight.
The cupcake muddy buddies were ALL. MINE. Insert big heart shaped eyes and a cake batter grin here.
This mix tastes like a vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting and sprinkles. A party in your mouth, people.

Cupcake Muddy Buddies
by: Back For Seconds
- 6 cups Chex cereal
- 12 oz chocolate
- 1/2 box vanilla cake mix (about 1 1/2 cups)
- sprinkles
In a large microwave safe bowl heat the chocolate until melted and stir until smooth. Pour in the Chex and stir gently until coated. In a paper bag shake the coated cereal with the sprinkles and dry cake mix. Pour onto wax paper until the chocolate sets. Store in an airtight container.

Okay, these were officially amazing. I think next time I’ll cut the cake mix with a little powdered sugar because I like things super sweet. (Yep, there’ll be a next time!)

Oh god. I must make this soon. Like, tomorrow. Cake mix rocks!
Kristin says
The fact that this has very few ingredients means that I’ll make it. Cake mix makes everything better.
Hayley says
Yes yes YES. Extra sprinkles on my portion please š (oh, who am I kidding with this ‘portion’ business–I’ll eat the whole batch). Don’t you hate when you realize you’ve left something awesome behind but LOVE when you realize it later? Selfish muddy buddy snacking is the best kind!
Pamela says
Looks good!
