Creating these Zombie Muddy Buddies is straightforward. Here’s how to bring them to life:

1. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. This will prevent the snacks from sticking.
2. Melt the Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
3. Add Food Coloring: If desired, stir in a few drops of green food coloring for an eerie effect.
4. Combine with Cereal: In a large bowl, pour the cereal and gently add the melted mixture over it. Stir carefully to coat all the cereal well without breaking it.
5. Coat with Powdered Sugar: After mixing, place the coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake until the cereal is evenly coated.
6. Chill the Mixture: Spread the muddy buddies out on the prepared baking sheet. Allow them to cool in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will help them set.
7. Decorate: Once chilled, decorate your muddy buddies with candy corn and gummy worms. Create a fun zombie theme by placing certain decorations as desired.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Portion them into bowls for serving or package in festive containers to share!

By following these steps, you’ll create a delicious and fun treat perfect for any spooky event!
