Red Velvet Muddy Buddies are a easy party snack that will quickly disappear!
So who says red velvet has to be a Valentine’s thing? I love it all year round and can not get enough of all things red velvet!
I decided to do some research on red velvet and to find out why it is so popular in February. Well apparently, in my own opinion, because it’s red and the color coordinates with the holiday.
Okay seriously red velvet made its come back as a favorite type of cake in 1989 when it was mentioned in the movie Steel Magnolias. Oh my gosh, fabulous movie, right? I cry every. single. time. But honestly the red velvet armadillo cake did not seem appetizing.
Anyways, now that red velvet is back to stay my daughter said I should do a red velvet week so I took her up on the challenge. I like quick and easy desserts and snacks because with 4 kids running around who has time to make fabulous cakes every single week? I do not!
So to put these muddy buddies together takes no time at all. And the chocolate drizzle on top is totally optional so you can technically be eating these in about 3 minutes from start to finish! Count me in! ENJOY!

Why are there no red velvet Oreos in my store!? I haven’t gone beyond the classic cake and red velvet twinkie things that I used to be able to find, but can’t anymore. I love the sound of your muddy buddies – so tempting. And I can’t wait to see what other red velvet goodies you come up with!
