Christmas Muddy Buddies Recipe & Gift Idea

What’s the Project? This Christmas muddy buddies recipe is so good you won’t be able to stop eating it. It’s great for holiday parties. Package it up cute and you’ve got a cute and yummy holiday gift for the season as well!

This project combines a few things that I love.

First of all, I love all things chocolate but make it muddy buddies and I am a real goner! I made these Candy Cane Christmas Muddy Buddies and just love how they turned out so I will share the recipe with you.

Second, I packaged them up all cute with glittery tags and ribbon and fun containers. All this while listening to Christmas music and my kids “helping” me makes for a fun project!

Supplies:

I just grabbed some fun supplies at the craft store and had fun putting together some options. Here’s some of what I used:

• Fry containers and the red boxes (LOVE!)
• Ribbon
• Glitter Tags
• Snowflake cutouts
• Baker’s Twine
• Peal and Stick Labels and Stickers

Then I just put it all together. You just need some glue to attach things. I used hot glue. You can probably also use craft glue.

Here are some samples of what I did. And let me tell you, my boys were also involved in this and loved it! So simple and turns out so pretty!

I made a variety of the fry boxes with fun embellishments like snowflake cutouts and ribbon:

Also, I used some of the stickers from the set to decorate these: (That little snowman is a sticker.)

And I made these little glitter gift tags. Anything with glitter wins me over:

Now, packed this up cute and take it to a friend!

I hope you love making, eating, and giving this Christmas muddy buddies mix!
