I had this thought the other day when I was eating my 100th Peppermint Kiss. What if I made my favorite snack with peppermint crushed in it? I loved the white chocolate and peppermint together and since I am kind of obsessed with muddy buddies, I decided to make this. HOLY COW! These were so good! It was seriously like Christmas in my mouth and I couldn’t stop eating them! I think this became my favorite of all of the muddy buddy versions that I have made! So addictingly good!
Things that I changed: I kind of made this recipe up as I went along. I copied it from my funfetti muddy buddy recipe.
Things that I would do differently next time: I saw that they have chocolate mint peppermint candy canes! I want to try this with those!

Can’t wait to try these peppermint buddies. I may try to make them using shredded wheat since that’s what I have in my cupboard. A little bit of healthy grain with my sweets. 🙂
Hi there, I just found this via Pinterest 🙂 I’m just curious, couldn’t this be made with milk chocolate? I’m not a fan of white almond bark or white chocolate even though I know it makes it look more “Christmas-y”.
Yep! Can be made with white chocolate. 🙂
I made these this weekend, and they were SO yummy!!! For future reference, I got about 1/3 cup of crushed peppermint from 4 regular candy canes, done in the food processor.
Thanks again!
These are beautiful! I have a huge obsession with all things peppermint this season and I can’t wait to try these babies!
Thanks for linking these up, I NEED, I NEED!!!
Just came across this on Pinterest….it looks fantastic! Quick question…do you think you could do this without the shortening? Thank you!
Yes you can! I just feel like the shortening helps it melt a little bit better! 🙂
Thanks for your response! I can’t wait to make these! 🙂 Happy Holidays, and thanks again!
Oh my heavens these look amazing! Definitely pinning this beauty, thanks!
