This summer, we’ve been doing some crafts and science experiments along with doing some school work to avoid the summer slide. But we’ve also been doing some cooking, as well.
I want my boys to know how to cook. No stereotypical boys growing up who don’t know how to do anything in a kitchen except eat. But because mine are still young, we stick with simple recipes, like Nutella Muddy Buddies.
And they learned skills like gathering all your ingredients and cooking utensils before you begin.
And measuring.
And stirring.
And shaking. Shaking without making a mess
And of course, the fine art of licking the bowl. Because why lick the spoon when the bowl is right there?
Nutella Muddy Buddies
Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 2 T butter
- 1/2 cup nutella
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 4 cups corn chex
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Directions
- Melt chocolate chips and butter in the microwave in a medium sized bowl, 30 seconds at a time on half power until it’s melted. (Mine took about 1:30).
- Mix in nutella and peanut butter until smooth.
- Measure corn chex into a large bowl.
- Pour chocolate mixture over chex and stir until coated.
- Pour coated chex into a gallon ziploc bag, add powdered sugar and shake until chex is coated with powdered sugar.

Recipe is easily doubled, though warning: you will eat it all!

Oh my!! Now that looks so yummy!! I’m craving something sweet and this would soooo hit the spot!
I am making these for sure! It has everything I love. Your boys are so flipping adorable! I don’ t know how you ever say no to them with those eyes and those smiles.
Oh dear, can you please send them to my house with the ingredients?
It seems like you all are having an active family filled summer! Those look so good, but I’m glad I don’t have there here, as they would be GONE! My sweet tooth seems to have control over my body these days.
All ingredients that I LOVE!!!!
Yum.
I merely could hardly depart your internet site before advising that we seriously liked the common data anyone look after your visitors? Shall be all over again routinely to examine through completely new articles
I don’t lick the bowl… I just get a rubber spatula and make sure that I get every last bit that is in the bowl.
On another note it’s great that your teaching them the way around the kitchen!
