Occasionally General Mills sends me boxes of cereal and fun stuff. They sent me a bunch of fun boxes of Lucky Charms for Saint Patrick’s Day and National Cereal Day. Opinions are 100% my own.

I spent some time playing with Instagram stories today to show everyone the fun Lucky Charms cereals that were sent to me by General Mills. It was fun! In the past couple months I was sent Lucky Charms that have a special Leprechaun trap that you can make from the box. This box only has light green and dark green clover marshmallows.

I also got the brand new Lucky Charms that have the new permanent marshmallow shape. the new shape is a Unicorn and it is pretty cool.

Making Muddy Buddies with the Kids

Muddy Buddies

We may just have a new Christmas snack food tradition thanks to Chex Cereal and General Mills. They sent us everything needed to make Muddy Buddies. i have never tried these before but… Oh Man! They are fantastic! Allison was out at Knitting tonight and so Andrew, Eva and I made the Muddy Buddies from the kit that we were sent. It is very easy to make but it can be messy. Or at least it takes a few bows and pans and whatnot to make them. The Muddy Buddies recipe is really simple and can be found on the Chex Website. We made the Chocolate Peanut Butter kind of Muddy Buddies. Andrew shook up the bag on the left and Eva the one on the right. I think that one of the bags either had more in it or less powdered sugar. I am not sure. I may have to ake another couple of batches to bring to work this weekend.

The items that were sent to me were really nice including a special BenSpark.com Spoon! Check it out below. Continue reading Making Muddy Buddies with the Kids →
