Banana Bread Muddy Buddies
All the flavors of Banana Bread tossed with rice chex cereal for a delicious sweet and crunchy snack.
Holiday DIY Gifts — Week 3
Prepare yourself to get your hands “muddy”.
If you love banana bread you will absolutely love Banana Bread Muddy Buddies. A few months ago I shared a recipe for Banana Bread Dip and Chocolate Covered Banana Bread Truffles that have been extremely popular. I couldn’t help myself, especially for the holiday season to come up with this recipe. Once you start munching on this tasty snack, you will have a hard time stopping. It is so yummy!
I love this as a gift. With the variety of pretty tins and treat boxes you can find at the craft stores, this makes a simple and lovely gift. Who wouldn’t love this tasty snack to enjoy during the holidays? If you are heading out to a holiday party, instead of bringing a tray of cookies, bring this instead for a yummy snack everyone will definitely enjoy.
I have another muddy buddy recipe coming up later this week. They are both so good and make excellent gifts or to enjoy when you are looking for a sweet and crunchy snack.

Great idea for gift giving (or giving to yourself!) Who doesn’t Love Banana Bread! Thanks for the great recipe.
I’ve never heard of Muddy Buddies but I absolutely love the name! What a great gift idea.
Do I just use a bread mix like Pillsbury banana bread?
Wondering if this could altered updated to reflect the dangers of flour that isn’t heat treated. I will be baking my quick bread mix( the dry mix ) before adding it into my recipe to be safe.
Hi! I’ve updated the recipe! 🙂
