TIP TO MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER: Before you get started on making your muddy buddies, you will need a few things! The entire list of ingredients below is listed, however, I want to say that I HATE shopping at the store. Ugg, dragging my kids and buying extra items… it’s such a pain.
I grab most of my non-perishables from Amazon. They have an entire grocery section and it really helps not to have to go to the craft store for candy melts and then the real store for cereal. Grab what you need here (at least check the prices) to make this one less thing you have to do today.
