Muddy Buddy Trail Mix – Low Carb, Grain-Free, Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free, THM S
I’ve seen recipes floating around for making this with pork rinds but I am not that adventurous. Using nuts and coconut seemed much safer.
If you are not a coconut fan you can make this with all nuts BUT you really can’t taste the coconut that much. The chocolate and peanut butter hides a lot of the coconut flavor.
I’ve loved Muddy Buddies since I was a teenager. One of the boys would show up to youth group with two gallon-sized Ziploc bags full. I thought his mom was amazing. I had no idea how simple they were to make. There were many youth group nights that I would eat that deliciousness by the handful.
I took the classic melted chocolate and peanut butter Chex topping and made it sugar-free and then poured it onto a mix of nuts and coconut. It has the flavor and the crunch of regular Muddy Buddies but none of the grains and a lot less of the carbs.
See how easy this delicious treat is:
I store this in the fridge but it is fine to leave it at room temperature for a few days. Sometimes after making it I divide it into small baggies so I can grab one and go. And the help with portion control.
