Notes
- For optimal freshness, store your Easy Strawberry Shortcake Muddy Buddies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- There's no need to reheat these treats; they’re best enjoyed at room temperature, making them perfect for parties or gatherings.
- Serve your muddy buddies in fun, colorful bowls or bags for a festive touch, and consider adding a sprinkle of extra freeze-dried strawberries on top for an eye-catching garnish.
- For a creamier texture, try using white chocolate melting wafers instead of chips, as they can melt smoother and blend more easily with the peanut butter.
