The article discusses the author's relationship with a sweet cereal treat known as Muddy Buddies, or alternately named puppy chow and monkey munch. Although traditionally seen as an indulgent snack, the author expresses a newfound appreciation for a healthier variation using a low-sugar cereal. The piece humorously touches on family anecdotes and the cultural significance of the snack, showcasing its versatility as both a guilty pleasure and a childhood favorite. The conversation about defining snacks versus candy illustrates the author's personal connections to food and nostalgia.
Like, why is it candy and not just a dessert or sugary snack? I'm not buying it.
At my big age, I should probably not regularly be eating Muddy Buddies... the perfect synthesis of crunchy, creamy, sweet, and salty.
It occurred to me recently... you can take any food... coat it in chocolate, peanut butter, and powdered sugar, and render it Muddy Buddied.
I consulted The Universe - aka TikTok - to see if people were making "healthy" Muddy Buddies out of Catalina Crunch, and indeed, they were.
