Notes
- *I used 1 ¾ cup for a balance of milk chocolate, peanut butter, and powdered sugar taste. But around 3 cups yields “snowier”, sweeter muddy buddies.
- Refrigerator or Room Temperature: store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- To Freeze: cool completely, then store in an airtight, freezer-friendly container for 1-2 months. It tastes so good straight out of the freezer!
