I’m a huge fan of muddy buddies. Darn things are addictive. But the fact of the matter is that several years ago, due to cross-contamination, we made a decision to go to a full-on no-nut household. I’m also no-dairy. So, that means that muddy buddies are pretty much completely out. Enter this ridiculously awesome alternative: Vegan Muddy Buddy Popcorn. Ok, so there’s no peanut butter, but the nutty taste of the popcorn kind of makes-up for it. And the crunch of the cereal? Totally replaced by…you guessed it, the popcorn. I get it. I’m crazy. But indulge me. This may be the awesome yummy you’ve been looking for.
Ingredients for Vegan Muddy Buddy Popcorn
- 6 cups popped pop corn
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
How to Make Vegan Muddy Buddy Popcorn
- Place the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-minute increments until melted.
- Ok, this is where things get crazy. You pour the chocolate over the popcorn and stir until coated.
- I know, this is so hard! Now, just put that chocolate-covered popcorn in a gallon-sized bag.
- Pour the powdered sugar on top of the popcorn.
- SHAKE!
- Now, you may devour at your leisure.
I’m not totally sold on this being the only popcorn recipe I’m going to make. So, stay tuned (ie. sign-up for our newsletter) so you can hit me back for the future popcorn recipes I can tell you are already on their way.
