Do NOT eat this for breakfast

[Sweetiemommy]

Ummm, just in case anyone else was thinking about doing this...do NOT eat Chex Muddy Buddies for breakfast. It might occur to you that Chex is a breakfast cereal...and peanut butter is good for you...and a little chocolate won't hurt you...and oh neither will the powdered sugar. Holy cow, my blood sugar is going crazy, I think I might barf. Stick with eggs and oatmeal people!

are you sure...cause it sounds REALLY good...like run to the store this minute and make some kind of good...lol. Maybe if I eat it with some cheese?? lol sorry you feel crummy

[Chicky2]

ROFL! I'm sorry you ate too much. Thankfully, it doesn't sound good in the least to me! I love that stuff at the holidays, though!

That's what I had for breakfast and I felt fine!!

[Sweetiemommy]

Lol, I am recovered, don't worry, but I threw the rest of the batch in the trash.

I have to admit I've totally thought that same thing. . .and indulged (whilst hiding from the kids) for breakfast. . .my blood sugar was all wacky that day too. . .but I didn't throw the rest of it out, I ate it later in the day

I've totally done that. It lasted like 2 days, then I just ignored the bowl of muddy buddies for a week or so because I couldn't even think of trying to eat anymore.

ROFL, homemade breakfast candy!!! And to think I thought you had to buy breakfast candy in a box with a cutesy label and a bogus health claim on it.

[MyLittleWarrior]

mmmm...I've been thinking about making some of this for the past week. You may have just put me over the edge. I have all the ingredients on hand too, it's just a matter of putting it together.

[Arianwen1174]

Just don't eat it for breakfast!

[Fruitful4Him]

I wonder how it would stack up next to a poptart or doughnut, for example... my kids would love it if I served muddy buddies for breakfast {{but aint gonna happen, lol}} I can only imagine the blood sugar crash and burn.

Oh wow thanks for the information. Yes you are right, oatmeal and eggs are a healthier choice. For more ideas on healthy breakfast meals not only for you but your kids please visit this thread http://www.mothering.com/discussions...1185355&page=2.

In my professional experience, the only way to control rapid blood sugar cycling after a breakfast of candy is to follow it with protein, fat, and course, more sugar. Best acheived by an entire pint of ben and jerry's for a snack, cheesecake and fried chicken for lunch. Then you've got all your fat and protein in for the day and can focus on the carbs. Although I am now retired from the crap for breakfast profession, still tempted to come out of retirement.
