Pumpkin Pie Muddy Buddies

I posted this recipe when I guest posted on Katie {Did} It for the 15 Tricks to Treat Your Halloween Series   You should check out Katie's blog, she has some ideas on there! I thought I would re-post the recipe here in case you did not get a chance to see it.  

When I was a kid I always looked forward to Halloween.  Now that I am a mother, I look forward to my son's excitement for Halloween.  I always loved the dressing up and all the parties.  My favorite part of Halloween is the candy and the food at Halloween parties. This should be no surprise, because my favorite part of everything is food.  

Another thing that I associate with Halloween is pumpkins.  I always carved pumpkins when I was a kid for Halloween.  These Pumpkin Pie Muddy Buddies or Puppy Chow are a great combination of the candy and pumpkins of Halloween. These are a great treat to serve at Halloween parties.  

These Muddy Buddies are made using Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses.  I also decided to add some graham cracker crumbs to the powdered sugar to give the muddy buddies the addition of the flavor of a graham cracker crust.  These tasting amazing!! I loved the pumpkin flavor, which was not overwhelming at all.  I could not stop eating these.  I also sent some to my husband's work, where they were also quickly devoured.  I hope that you make this delicious and easy treat to serve at your Halloween parties!
