  6. Spread the Muddy Buddies evenly into your prepared 9x13 dish and sprinkle a bit of sea salt on top if desired. Leave to set.
  7. Once set, break into clusters and serve in festive bags or jars.
  8. Grab a handful and savor the delightful crunch with rich chocolate, caramel, and peanut butter flavors!
