This recipe makes a large amount of mud, but if you have any leftover, you can store it. Cooled muddy buddies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also put it in a small zip-top bag so it’s ready to eat as an after-school or office snack. If you have a warm home, choose to store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or in the freezer for up to two months (although I doubt it will last that long). “I actually love muddy buddies straight out of the freezer,” says Rosenhaus. “The chocolate hardens well and becomes even more crunchy and delicious when it cools down.”
Whether you’re serving this decadent dessert at your next dinner party, holiday gathering, or just as a late-night snack, it’s guaranteed to be the festive, indulgent touch you need this holiday season.
