Do you call these Muddy Buddies, Puppy Chow or something else?

I recently had a Scentsy party and made this amazing Cinnamon Churro Muddy Buddy recipe to share with all my friends and family.

The bowl was empty by the end of the night and everyone absolutely loved this sweet snack.

It would be great at your next game day party, something sweet for movie night or for any occasion.

Cinnamon chips are easy to find in my area, as my local grocery chain always carries fun chip flavors, but if you can't find them locally, they are available on Amazon here.

The classic Muddy Buddy recipe is always great, but we love to change up the flavors for something new every time.
