Start by adding the chocolate melting wafers to a microwave safe bowl and microwaving for 45 seconds. Stir, then microwave for another 45 seconds. If the chocolate isn’t fully melted at that point, microwave for 15 second increments, stirring in between each, until it’s fully melted.

Pour the Chex cereal into a large bowl then add the chocolate to the bowl of cereal and gently stir with a rubber spatula until everything is evenly coated.

Sprinkle the powdered pudding mix onto the cereal then toss until all of the cereal is coated completely.

Let the muddy buddies set for 10-15 minutes to let the chocolate set.

Once the muddy buddies are dry and set, pour them into a large bowl along with the popcorn, chocolate covered peanuts, and candies. Stir gently to mix everything together.

Serve immediately and store any leftovers in an airtight container.
