We’re big fans of muddy buddies here at our house and I’m always looking for new variations. I took our Lemon Muddy Buddies and made a few tweaks and the results are delicious. If you like banana cream pie, you have to try these! They’re so good. Best served the day you make them- I don’t think they hold up as well as traditional muddy buddies, but you’ll quickly see just how irresistible they are. They’re perfect for picnics or parties. Enjoy!
Banana Cream Pie Muddy Buddies
- 6 cups Chex cereal
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup white chocolate chips*
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 TBSP milk
- 1 small box Banana Cream pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
In a large bowl, measure cereal and set aside.
In a small saucepan combine butter, white chocolate chips, milk and sweetened condensed milk over medium heat. Continue stirring until smooth, add the pudding mix and stir to combine. Remove from heat. (You can cheat and microwave the mixture in a glass bowl for 1 minute 25 seconds. Stir, then heat for another 20 seconds.) Pour over cereal and carefully stir to coat. Toss with powdered sugar. Add a 1/2 cup at a time and you will reach your desired “coating” of powdered sugar. I found it easier to add 1/2 cup, then spread it out on waxed paper, then dusted another 1/2 cup on. Let cool about 10 minutes, lightly stir, then dust the remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar on top.
Store in an airtight container.
*Instead of white chocolate chips, you can use vanilla bark like I did! Just use as close to 8 oz as possible- 4 to 5 squares should be correct, depending on how many ounces are in each square.

Hi, Jessica,
I have a few questions about your Banana Cream Pie Muddy Buddies. Plain milk is listed in the ingredients, but not mentioned in the directions. And there are 2 ingredients mentioned in the directions that aren’t listed in the ingedients: heavy whipping cream and vanilla. Help! Thanks.
Sorry Cheryl- I updated the instructions! I had adapted the recipe from another recipe of ours. My changes should make more sense! 😉
it was so yummy and had a little crisp the first day however the next day they tasted stale and kinda soggy. Where did I go wrong? I really want to try them again.
They certainly are best that first day! We found ours to be more chewy by the next day. Good, but just different! I wonder if refrigerating them would help them hold up better?
Jodi, I had the same issue. I put them in an airtight container, but they were definitely chewy and not as good the second day. I really felt like it had to be something I was doing wrong in the process of making them. I am wondering if you tried them again, and tweaked anything for better results?
Can I get the recipe for the lemon ones
