Creamy yogurt, fresh berries, and sweet snack mix come together to make the perfect treat in these yogurt parfaits. Thanks so much to Safeway for sponsoring today’s easy snack idea!
Ooh, I have a treat for you today! Check out these Chex™ Muddy Buddies™ Yogurt Parfaits! Do you know about muddy buddies? You can make them yourself or buy them prepackaged like I used here. They are Chex cereal smothered in delicious things like chocolate and peanut butter, then tossed with powdered sugar. They are pretty much the best thing ever, or at least I thought so until I added them to a yogurt parfait. Now THIS is the best thing ever!
These easy parfaits only need three ingredients and no cooking at all. They are perfect for when you want a tasty snack or dessert with almost no effort. I opted for Yopliat® Greek 100 yogurt since it’s low in sugar. I figured that would balance out the sugar in the muddy buddies! The flavor combo here is divine. The strawberries and peanut butter give sort of a PBJ flavor, and then the creamy vanilla yogurt and rich chocolate make it extra amazing. It has a great mix of textures too!
What time of day would you like to enjoy this parfait? I ate the one you see here for a mid-morning snack. I might make another round for my boys to eat after school today, and it would also make for a great after-dinner treat. You could change it up with the yogurt flavor and the type of fruit, or if you are fresh out of berries, just enjoy the Muddy Buddies and yogurt together.

Crema Mexicana (or Mexican style sour cream) is rich, smooth, slightly sweet and pourable. It works great as a condiment or as a substitute for sour cream or creme fraiche in dip and sauce recipes.
If you are like me I am sure you have made or eaten plenty of sour cream and onion dips that are made with onion soup mix or flavoring packets. Now those can be good, but this dip is GREAT! The only problem...
