Muddy Buddies

Wait! Muddy Buddies have peanut butter!?! What are you doing???! Tia recently passed a soy trial. That means she can have soy! She's not a fan of anything soy so far, except blueberry soy yogurt. So, we are sticking with rice milk for now. I went to the store and bought soynut butter. It's nut free, even though it has "nut" in the name. That makes me way too uncomfortable, so at our house, it's called "soybean butter".
Once we had a nut butter substitute, I made Tia my favorite treats. First was muddy buddies. Mmmmmm. It makes me want to take a road trip! The recipe is the same as printed on the side of the rice chex box, and on their website. Here it is:

Oreo cookies

My sister used to make these for us and we loved them! I halved the original recipe and had to substitute the cream cheese frosting, but they turned out great!

Ingredients:
1 chocolate cake mix
2 egg substitutions
3/4 cup shortening
Mix well. Roll into small balls and drop onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 9 minutes only. Cool on brown paper bag.
I used a simple powdered sugar icing to turn them into Oreos. Yum!
