How to make Snickerdoodle muddy buddies

Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a gallon-sized ziptop bag. Shake to incorporate and set aside.
Measure Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl.
In a small microwave-safe bowl melt the white chocolate chips for 25 seconds in the microwave. Stir and reheat as needed.
Pour the melted white chocolate chips over the Chex cereal.
Carefully stir to coat the cereal, trying not to crush the cereal.
Scoop the Chex cereal into the bag with the cinnamon sugar mixture, then close and shake to coat the cereal completely.
Pour the cinnamon sugar-coated muddy buddies onto a cookie sheet in a single layer and allow the white chocolate to set completely, approximately 30 minutes, before storing or serving.

Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:

What type of cereal is best?

My family likes to use Chex cereal. Rice Chex, Corn Chex or a combination of both are a favorite. Also you can use Crispix cereal.

How do you store churro puppy chow?

I store my churro muddy buddies in either a gallon-sized zip-top bag or another air-tight container. It is important to keep humidity and moisture away from the snack mix.
