Birthday Cake Muddy Buddies

Ingredients for Muddy Buddies:
 4.50 cups rice chex cereal
 4.50 cups freshly made popcorn
 ¼ cup coconut oil
 20 oz white chocolate chips
 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
 ½ cup funfetti cake box mix, (I cheated, I went for easy! You can substitute with almond, vanilla and butter extract if you want a healthier alternative)
  cup assorted sprinkles, my favorite are fancy sprinkles
Directions for Muddy Buddies:
1

Pour the cereal and popcorn in a large bowl, mix together and set aside.

2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt coconut oil and white chocolate. Stir constantly until the white chocolate is fully melted.

3

Pour warm white chocolate mixture over cereal and popcorn.

4

Wait 2-3 minutes until cool and then add the sprinkles to mixture. If you add them while the contents are still warm, the sprinkles will most likely melt- like the batch I did before this one haha!

5

In a bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and gradually add in the funfetti cake box mix. Note here that you should do a taste test while you a folding in the cake mix because it’s very strong in flavor and you may not need that much of it to give it that amazing birthday cake flavor! If you do too much it can taste overpowering and tarte.

6

Pour the powdered sugar cake mixture over the cereal and popcorn and stir together until coated to your liking.

7

Store at room temperature for up to a week (if you add fresh popcorn, the popcorn will go stale after 5-6 days)
