Muddy Buddies

I have not been cooking much lately because of our crazy baseball schedule. Most of our meals recently have been things like grilled chicken or quick casseroles that don't deserve blog recognition! So here is an oldie but goodie recipe, perfect for birthday parties, movie nights or snacking.
