Loaded Peanut Butter Muddy Buddies Snack Mix-with Reeses Pieces and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups your family will eat it up!
Family time is so important to me. In my house, we always have dinner together, at the table, with the TV turned off. We don’t answer the phone (I’m not a doctor so I can’t help you in an emergency and anything else can wait 30 minutes, leave a message.) We can catch up on the day, have a few laughs. I swear I have taught my kids table manners but loud burps and other gases have been heard at our table.
I’m always wanting more time with the kids. They are growing up so fast. Before I know it, they’ll be off to college and then out on their own.
We watch movies together but it’s not interacting with each other. We all just stare at the TV. Just because we’re all in the same room, doesn’t make it family time.
So then there’s game time. We’re all of a competitive nature. I usually don’t have to ask twice if the kids want to play something. Risk, Monopoly, Spades, Life, Trouble. Even my son will put off going back to the computer or Xbox to play a game.
It doesn’t really matter who wins (ok, yes it does) we all have a great time together.
And of course there’s always snacking involved. We prefer finger snacks. Snack you can nibble on the whole game. We all Love Reese’s. REESE’S® Peanut Butter Cups, Reese’s Pieces, and I love using the Reese’s Peanut Butter Baking Chips. It was only natural to put them all together and make a fun snack that everyone would love.

July 16, 2014 at 7:55 pmI remember this as puppy chow growing up. Only my grandma would mix the peanut butter chex and make Milk chocolate chex with it. So it would be combined. I have been trying to remember the recipe for a long time. Thank you so very much for this.
