Place 1/2 cup of powdered sugar in a gallon ziplock bag and add 1/8 teaspoon of Yellow Powder Food Coloring. Mix well.
Place 1/3 cups of Yellow candy melts in a microwave safe container. Microwave at half power for 30 seconds, remove container and stir. Repeat this process until all candies are melted. (Be sure to check it regularly, candies will burn in the mircowave)
Add 2 cups of Chex cereal into a bowl. Once candies are melted, pour the melted candy into the bowl with the Chex cereal. Fold until all Chex cereal is coated. (This process may take a few minutes, but the melted candy will coat the Chex cereal! Take your time and continue folding and mixing.)
Remove candy coated Chex cereal from bowl and put into gallon ziplock bag with colored powdered sugar. Seal the bag and shake well. All candy-coated cereal needs to be covered.
Line a baking tray with wax paper, pour the muddy buddies onto the tray evenly.
Repeats steps 1 - 5 for the blue, purple, and bright pink. Match the candies to the dyed powdered sugar.
For the White Candy Melts repeat steps, but with 2 cups of Bugles Original Flavor and no dye in the powdered sugar.
Allow the muddy buddies to dry completely before combining. Add embellishments (colored sugar or sprinkles) if desired.
