Toasted Coconut Muddy Buddies

December 4, 2013 By LowCarbOneDay

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!
