Peanut Butter S’mores Muddy Buddies
Enjoy this summer time crunchy snack with all-time favorite chocolate and peanut butter flavors! 
Welcome to S’mores Week!!! This whole week, myself and some fabulous bloggers will be sharing with you our favorite s’mores creations. Why? Because who doesn’t love some chocolate, marshmallow and graham cracker action? Thank you Lisa (Wine and Glue) for putting together this amazing idea.
I am so excited for a whole week of S’mores!! Since I am not really the camping kind of girl, my s’mores eating is restricted to backyard picnic fires and tons of s’mores inspired recipes like these peanut butter marshmallow cookies or these s’more cookie bars and now these peanut butter s’mores muddy buddies! It’s the way I camp out in the city 🙂
(Ignore my father-in-law there photobombing!)
When brainstorming for ideas for s’mores week, I consulted my trusted taste testers for suggestions; Mr J and my girlfriend Trista. They instantly lit up because they are well..serious chocoa-holics and were both super duper excited about a themed week (noted!). They started shooting ideas at me that they thought were original, creative and diverse! Apparently nothing else will be good enough. Mr J started on the peanut butter trail (duh) “Oh oh what if you put a whole PB cup in a graham cracker crust and top with marshmallow? I bet no one has done that before”. Uhmmm yeah, I’m pretty sure it has been done but he was so excited about his idea, I didn’t want to burst his bubble. Similarly, my friend was excited about her suggestion as well “Waitttttt, muddy buddies. OMG that is so out of character for Blahnik Baker. Make it!! Use those golden graham crakers, shake it with chocolate and oh my gosh with the cute marshmallows as well.” And yet again, couldn’t tell her it’s all over Pinterest.
Don’t you just hate that every great idea you seem to come up with has been done?? You get this amazing idea when you are in the shower and you Google it to see how unique it is and there you see millions of it on Pinterest. It’s annoying sometimes and can be stifling to creativity but I learned from an early stage in my blogging years that I cannot NOT make something just because someone else has. Discovering new recipes, recreating old favorites and making food that my family and friends love is what my blog is all about. I make what THEY love and are excited about with the hope that it will bring some joy and excitement to your family too! So I will continue to create new-to me things and I hope some will be new to you as well 🙂
Anyhoo, I guess we should really talk about this really easy muddy buddies snack. I hope you are not like me and just discovering how seriously addicting they are now at age of almost 30!! My goodness, I was in the dark. I ended up making this with my 13-year old niece last weekend. Wait let’s rephrase, she actually made it and I just photographed them 🙂 She is a peanut butter addict like her uncle so she threw in some peanut butter to the original idea. I’ve been enjoying it as a snack in the middle of the day at work or late night snacks as I blog. Since I don’t really camp, I can only imagine (and suggest) that these will be perfect for camping as you chill out by the night fire.

My friend Nancy from The Bitter Side of Sweet, who is as excited about S’mores week as I am, happened to make Muddy Buddies too (thanks to Instagram.) Here’s her S’mores muddy buddies (with a hint of strawberry).

These will be my favorite muddy buddy flavors yet! And I appreciate your thoughts on making recipes whether it has been done in the past or not. I think it is so important to follow your passions and make what you love, even if it has been done a million times!
As much as I like smores they can be messy to eat. This is much more my speed.
Plus you have options to eat them in more locations than around a camp fire. Albeit I do have a fire pit in my back yard. The flavor combo is beyond trying to resist. S’mores week should be fun!
Goodness gracious these sound amazing. My husband is a muddy buddy lover. I will have to make this for him (me) ASAP!
This looks so addictive, I would be afraid to make it! But I might have to anyway….And by the way, your husband’s PB cup-S’more idea sounds amazing!! I like the way he thinks!
Thanks Nora! They were addictive and so good 🙂 And yes the hubs was so proud of himself. I made the PB cups and sharing them on Wednesday 😉
S’mores just speaks summer to me! They are so festive and fun! I love that you made them into muddy buddies, these look so addictive!
Oh I agree!! S’mores speaks to me too 🙂 Thanks dear!! I hope you’ve been enjoying your summer!!
What a great idea, Zainab! I could munch on this mix all afternoon. A great way to start S’mores week!
Thanks Ashley!! I’ve been munching on them all last week lol!
how fun! my friends and i were puppy chow junkies in college. 🙂
I wish I knew of this goodness in my college days. Those late nights will have been awesome!!
Omg, stop it. I am dying over these! And like all of the s’mores treats really. I love what you said about making things, even if they’ve already been done before. Sometimes I’ll get an idea and think, “I need to make this before someone else does!” And most of the time I wait to long and someone else does make it. People are bound to have the same idea every once in awhile! I love that you made these anyway, and I really love the addition of peanut butter. Yum! 🙂
Thanks Beth!! It’s never late to post your recipes and ideas because you will always have a new spin on it. And after all, it’s the stories behind the food that really makes us connect on blogs 🙂
hey Z!!! oh my gawd, I love these!!! S’mores Week?!!! That’s like the best thing ever!!! and you know I would do that too. . come up with something fabulous and then google it to see if anyone else has thought of it. . but you know what? I stopped doing that! because most times, someone has, so I don’t even worry about it anymore!! so, you are so right in still publishing recipes, recreating old favorites etc. . I love this!!!
Thanks Alice!!! I’m glad we are on the same page…do what we want 🙂
I agree…you should always make what you dream up whether it’s been done before or not! Your spin will always be a little different anyway. 🙂 I’ve yet to have or make muddy buddies…I know…terrible! These would be a fantastic place to start since I love s’mores!
Totally!! The spins make new favorites and there is always a story behind each recipe 🙂
A whole week of s’mores- sign me up! Muddy buddies are such an addictive snack, I can only imagine how good this version is.
Right? A whole week!! Sounds right up your ally!
Beyond yummy girl! I adore this!!
Thanks dear!!
