If you\u2019re looking for a snack you won\u2019t be able to stop eating, Puppy Chow<\/strong> is what you\u2019re craving. I\u2019ve been making this recipe for years \u2013 it\u2019s so easy \u2013 and whenever I make it I cannot stop eating it. In fact, this batch was gone in about 3 days between Jordan and I (don\u2019t judge).<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t realize it was called Puppy Chow (I\u2019m from the west coast; we call it muddy buddies<\/a>) until I started blogging but no matter what you call it it\u2019s the most delicious snack you\u2019ll ever eat. Crunchy Chex cereal coated with peanut butter and chocolate then all dusted with a healthy dose of powdered sugar.<\/strong> I\u2019ve made this so many ways with different flavors \u2013 and I realized I\u2019d never shared my classic go-to recipe! I don\u2019t know where it got it\u2019s name \u2013 it doesn\u2019t look like dog food to me \u2013 but it\u2019s 100% human chow \u2013 the best muddy buddies recipe you\u2019ll ever eat.<\/p>\n

How to Make Puppy Chow Tips<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. I skip butter in my recipe<\/strong> \u2013 why bother adding butter when more peanut butter does the trick? You can use creamy peanut butter or crunchy.<\/li>\n
  2. I usually use Rice Chex Cereal<\/strong>, but you can use corn Chex<\/a> or wheat or even one of the flavors, like Honey Nut Chex.<\/li>\n
  3. When it comes to semi-sweet chocolate chips<\/strong>, use your favorite \u2013 or use milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips.<\/li>\n
  4. See below for my favorite variations of this recipe!<\/em><\/li>\n
  5. I like to melt my chocolate and peanut butter in a large microwave-safe bowl <\/strong>in the microwave. Heat it for a minute, then stir, then in 30 second increments (stirring between each) until it\u2019s all melted and smooth.<\/li>\n
  6. Carefully coat the cereal <\/strong>with the melted chocolate mixture in a large bowl.<\/li>\n
  7. It\u2019s easiest to shake the cereal in a ziplock bag<\/strong> \u2013 sometimes I like to use two resealable bags so there\u2019s room to shake the cereal mixture in the confectioners\u2019 sugar.<\/li>\n
  8. Once it\u2019s all coated with powdered sugar,<\/strong> turn the puppy chow mix<\/a> out onto a baking sheet covered with wax paper or parchment paper to set.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
