Our easy Halloween Muddy Buddies recipe is frightfully delicious! With worms, Oreo dirt and fake blood, this Graveyard Muddy Buddy recipe is perfect for holiday buffets and parties.
Kids will love getting a syringe of fake blood to squirt over a bowl of this snack.
Muddy Buddy snack mix, also known as Puppy Chow, is a sweet and salty treat made with cereal. Our spooky muddy buddies recipe does not have peanut butter, but uses icing as a binder, instead.
Ingredients
We chose Krave Chocolate Filled Cereal to add extra chocolate to this delicious treat. However, you can easily substitute Chex cereal, which is a common ingredient in these snack mixes.
Be sure to use red gel food coloring, rather than red liquid food coloring.
How to Make Halloween Muddy Buddies
Place the cereal in a large mixing bowl.
Add the white chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for one minute, the stir the chips. Microwave for another minute, or until everything is melted and smooth. If the chocolate chips have not melted after 2 minutes, continue to microwave on 15 second intervals, stirring in-between, until they are smooth.
Place the icing in a microwave-safe bowl and then microwave for 30 seconds.
Pour the melted chocolate and icing over the cereal. Fold all of the ingredients together until well combined and everything is coated evenly.
Add the powdered sugar to a ziplock bag.
Pour in the coated cereal. Seal the zip-top bag and shake well, until all of the cereal is coated in powdered sugar.
Pour out the cereal onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the freezer until the chocolate is set, about 30 minutes to an hour.
In a large serving dish, add the cereal as well as the gummy worms, Oreos, and sprinkles. Mix until well combined.
Optional: Combine the strawberry syrup and food coloring in a small dish. Fill up the syringe. Add fake blood to each creepy bite! Do not add the fake blood to the entire bowl because it will make the muddy buddies soggy.
Use the plastic syringes to make these creepy Bloody Syringe Jello Shots, too. They pair well with this Halloween snack mix!

Notes
- Rice Chex or Corn Chex can be substituted for the Krave Cereal, however the puppy chow mix won’t have as much chocolate flavor.
