This is a sponsored post on behalf of Review Wire Media for Sony Pictures. I received information to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

Are you a Smurfs fan?  I grew up watching Smurfs back in the 1980's, when we only had basic cable and no DVR to record episodes in case you missed them.  Every Saturday morning, I got up early to watch cartoons and get my weekly Smurf fix.  I love that they have rebooted one of my favorite cartoons to share with my kids!  

Smurfs: The Lost Village will be arriving in theaters April 7th, and it's sure to be another smurftastic adventure!  Read on to learn more about the film, how to make your own Smurf Muddy Buddies snack for family movie night, and enter to win some smurftastic swag below.

About the Movie

In this fully animated, all-new take on the Smurfs, a mysterious map sets Smurfette  and her best friends Brainy, Clumsy, and Hefty on an exciting and thrilling race through the Forbidden Forest filled with magical creatures to find a mysterious lost village before the evil wizard Gargamel does. Embarking on a rollercoaster journey full of action and danger, the Smurfs are on a course that leads to the discovery of the biggest secret in Smurf history!






Make your Own Smurf Muddy Buddies

Ingredients:
4 1/2 Cups Rice Chex cereal 2-3 Bags of Wilton Royal Blue Candy Melts 1/4 Cup Peanut Butter * 1/4 Butter or Margarine 1 TSP Vanilla 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar 1 shaker of Wilton blue glitter Sprinkles 1 large bag of dark blue Sixlets
Supplies:
Mixing Bowls (microwavable) 2 Gal Ziplock Bag Baking tray wax paper red and white polka dot Cupcake baking cups Easter grass Decorative basket

Instructions:
1.  Measure cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside.

2.  Pour the powdered sugar and sprinkles into the 2 gallon Ziplock bag and set aside.  
3. Cover a large baking tray with waxed paper and set aside.  
4.  In a microwaveable bowl, add butter and Wilton candy melts. Microwave uncovered on high for 1 minute.  Stir.  Then microwave in 30 second increments and stir until smooth.  (Melting it over the stovetop might work better; I tried to save time by microwaving.)

Stir in vanilla.
*We omitted the peanut butter in this recipe due to my daughter's peanut allergy.  To make this recipe more allergy friendly, you can substitute the peanut butter with Wow butter or Sun butter, use peanut-safe white chocolate chips to dye dark blue, and allergy friendly sprinkles.  I couldn't find peanut allergy safe candy melts locally and needed a something quick & easy so I chose Wilton.

5.  Pour the blue mixture over the cereal and stir evenly to fully coat the cereal.  

6.  Pour the cereal into the 2 gallon Ziplock bag and seal.  Shake until the cereal is completely coated.

7.  Unseal the ziplock bag and pour the cereal onto the wax paper-covered large baking tray.  Spread the cereal out and break up any big clumps.   (Some of the blue chocolate didn't distribute perfectly, but this was our first time making them.)   My daughter calls the imperfect lumpy pieces Smurf poop!   

8.  Put the tray in the fridge for about 15 minutes to set.  
9.  Once the muddy buddies are out of the fridge, use a spoon to scoop them into the red & white polka dot Baking cups.  Add sixlets as desired.

I used a Mikasa basket to display the Smurfs Muddy buddies inside the toadstool baking cups with some Easter grass and added one of my daughter's Handy smurf figurines.  And voila!   

This is a fun snack to make with your kids and easy to store in a ziplock bag for munching later.  It's perfect for a smurfs themed party or family movie night!
