Reindeer Christmas Mix Muddy Buddies

My husband isn't a fan of peanut butter, so I adapted this recipe to make it peanut-butter free.

We still like peanuts in our Muddy Buddy Mix, but you can leave them out if you prefer.  Whether you use Dark Chocolate or White Chocolate, it's unanimous in our family that this is one of the best snack mixes  during the holidays !

I always try to find my ingredients at Aldi for the best prices.
