Valentine Muddy Buddies

The annual Valentine Bake Sale at the kiddos’ school is tomorrow and we made Valentine Muddy Buddies, or Puppy Chow, depending on what you call them!

Last year I blew off the bake sale (but NOT the year before) so I felt I needed to contribute this time. Caroline insists on helping in the kitchen these days so picking a recipe which calls for two different powders wasn’t the smartest decision I’ve ever made. I guess my floors needed a little pine sol anyway…

I replaced half my usual powdered sugar with funfetti cake mix and oh-my-gosh why haven’t I done this before???? And then to top off the goodness I tossed in a bag of Valentine M&Ms, which thankfully wasn’t as difficult to find as Halloween m&ms (remember this? I was hoping you wouldn’t!).

After we bagged up all the treats I asked Caroline how we should price them for the bake sale and without hesitation she declared $9 (each). If I hadn’t already embarrassed myself by grossly overpricing my bake sale treats previously, I may have considered it.

And because we really, really, really love our teachers, we bagged up some treats separately for them. I hope the Bake Sale committee doesn’t mind the $54 loss in profits…

Nine dollars each seems like a fair price to pay! ;) I always loved muddy buddies growing up. I love how there can be so much variation in this recipe...i love all the pinks and reds in your V-Day themed batch. XOXO Rachaelhttp://aduchessandablog.blogspot.com/
