I've never heard of muddy buddies, that looks like something my neices and nephews would go nutty for. I may need to whip up a batch.
Question though- does the Chex cereal get mushy/soft? Or, do they have a nice crunch underneath the levels of chocolate and peanut butter.

In this case, I would like my cereal to be crunchy.

If u are going to eat something at night cereal is the best thing for you instead of something heavy.

Where'd you get this recipe? The Elvis Presley Cookbook? It sounds like enough calories to feed Haiti, but it also sounds insanely tasty. I wonder what this would taste like deep fried? Mmmm...

Ok, the last time I had these was a few years ago!!! It isn't like you're gonna eat them on a daily basis!!! You can google 'muddy buddies' and get it or sometimes it's on the back of the Rice Chex box.

Sadly, I don't eat cereal much anymore but I'm perplexed by all you mushy people. It *must* be crunchy. The moment it becomes soggy, I'm done.

I'm into Vector for breakfast, or a snack... It's crunchy alright... To the point that it sometimes feels like gravel! But it's good!

Warm... therefore mushy...and most likely not a kids cereal (I can't remember when, I last had any of that...probably when the kids were teeny)
Pip...dosn't eating cereal late at night, keep you awake?

I guess for me it depends on the cereal. I like Grape Nuts to be soggy. Probably because if you eat them before they are they break your teeth.
