Since Steve and I will be away in Mexico on Valentine’s Day I have been prepping some treats and presents for the kids. One of those is this yummy Valentine’s Day Muddy Buddies Snack Mix recipe!
Such a simple yet delicious snack for the kids to enjoy when they get home from school on Valentine’s Day.
While it has sugar and chocolate, I am of the mind that everything in moderation is okay! Plus, I won’t be around for their sugar induced wildness … joking, my kids don’t get wild.
Indulging in a few treats every once in a while is not going to cause the kid’s teeth to fall out. Just make sure they brush their teeth extra good afterwards.
