One of my all time favorite desserts around the holidays is Muddy Buddies or Puppy Chow. If you’re not familiar with Muddy Buddies/Puppy Chow it’s a recipe that covers Chex Cereal with cocolate and peanut butter and then coats it in powdered sugar. Of course I needed to lower the carbs on this holiday treat. Last year I made a version that used almonds, but this year I wanted to use my latest obsession, toasted coconut, instead.
A word of warning, these are addictive! This has quickly turned into my go-to holiday recipe!
