Skittles are my one weakness. Ask me if I want chocolate over Skittles, and I'll always choose Skittles. Always.
So I was trying to think of ways I could incorporate them into a recipe. Skittle cookies? Nah. Skittle Smoothie? YUCK. Skittle blondies? No. And then the muddy buddies idea came to me. I rushed to the store, picked up the rest of the ingredients for this and made it right away. Sometimes I get a recipe that just pops in my brain and I can't stop thinking about it until I make it. Sometimes this happens in the middle of the night and I have to write it down, just so I can sleep.
This version of Muddy Buddies tastes just like Skittles. Whether your a chocolate lover or not, or love Skittles, you'll like this! Taste the Rainbow, baby. I plan on trying this with Sour Skittles (my favorite) the next time I make these!
Happy loved these so much, he wanted me to contact Chex or Skittles to share the recipe. He's sweet. :)
Skittles Muddy Buddies
1 bag of Skittles, crushed finely (I used the Wild Berry flavor)
6 cups Rice Chex
1 1/2 cups white chocolate, melted
2 cups powder sugar
Separate your skittles by colors. Grind each color in a cuisinart (I used a Vitamix) until it becomes almost a fine powder. Put them in (5) separate bags with equal amounts of powdered sugar. In a double boiler, melt your white chocolate. Add to a bowl with your 6 cups Chex and mix until fully coated. Quickly add equal amounts of white chocolate Chex to each Skittles/powdered sugar bag, seal and shake until coated evenly. Pour out evenly on a sheet pan and let dry/harden. Enjoy!
