Puppy Chow

Puppy Chow (also known as Muddy Buddies) is one of my go-to large group treats. This batch was made for a Super Bowl party we attended but I’ve also found it to be a great treat for birthday parties, play dates, or any other group gathering. (Just be mindful of people with nut allergies!).

It’s super easy to make and a favorite of all ages. But, I must warn you about something.

It’s addicting.

You think I’m joking.

I’m not.

Consider yourself warned.

If you haven’t had this goodness in your life, here’s what it is: Chex pieces coated in a buttery-chocolate-peanut butter mixture, coated in powdered sugar.

It’s addicting for a reason.

Consume in moderation.

Consider yourself warned (again).

But, despite all my warnings and disclaimers, this is a great recipe to have in your back pocket. It’s cheap, easy, and loved by all. I’ve never measured how much it makes exactly but my guess would be 10-12 cups.

So, a lot.

Here is now to make it!

Oh, and if you’re feeling super naughty, clean up that pan with some pretzels.

Your jeans, well, not so much.
