Citrus Muddy Buddies step by step

To start, measure out your powdered sugar into 3 small mixing bowls. Add each of the flavor packets to each bowl, lemonade in one, orange in another, lime in the last one. Stir them up well to evenly distribute the drink mix powders through the sugar..
**NOTE: I tried a batch with the large half-gallon size drink mix packet, and it came out a bit strong for my liking. 2 of the 16oz bottle size packets is half the amount of the big packets, and saves you having to manually measure out half.***.
Once you've mixed your flavored sugars, pour the whole box of cereal into a large mixing bowl. Melt down your 5-6 squares almond bark in the microwave, in 30 second intervals so it doesn't over heat and/or burn, stirring between intervals until its about 80% melted. Stirring it from this point on will melt any lumps, and no risk of burning your bark..
Pour the bark over the cereal, and using a wooden spoon or other big, strong utensil..gently fold and stir until the cereal is coated evenly..
Carefully pour the cereal into a bag, followed by the first bowl of flavored sugar. Close off the bag securely, but leave a pocket of air for moving the cereal and sugar. Shake the bag like CrAzY!!!! And i mean shake it like your life depends on it, coating all the cereal in the sugar and drink mix, until no more sugar mixture will stick to the cereal..
If you wish, dump the bag into a large pasta strainer and shake out the excess sugar, but only if you wish lol..
Pour into an airtight container. Repeat steps 3 thru 6 for each flavor. I'm sure you could do this with other flavors as well. I may try the apple drink mix with a dash or 2 of cinnamon...can we say "Apple Crisp Muddy Buddies?!?!?!?!?".

I make my own lemon curd, so I had that ingredient available! Easy to make and SOOOO delicious!! Add each of the flavor packets to each bowl, lemonade in one, orange in another, lime in the last one. Stir them up well to evenly distribute the drink mix powders through the sugar. These lemon muddy buddies are a fun twist on the original muddy buddies recipe that adds a touch of sweetness!
