Puppy Chow, also known as Muddy Buddies, is a beloved no-bake snack that’s as fun to make as it is to eat. This sweet, crunchy treat is made by coating crispy cereal in a rich combination of melted chocolate, peanut butter, and butter, and then tossing it in powdered sugar for a sweet finish. It’s perfect for parties, holidays, or just a snack to satisfy your sweet tooth. With its irresistible texture and flavor, Puppy Chow is a hit with both kids and adults alike!
Ingredients:
- 9 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions:
- Melt the chocolate and peanut butter: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Coat the cereal: Place the Rice Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the cereal and gently stir until all the pieces are evenly coated.
- Add powdered sugar: Transfer the coated cereal into a large resealable plastic bag (or use a large mixing bowl with a lid). Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake vigorously until all the cereal pieces are coated in sugar.
- Cool and serve: Spread the Puppy Chow on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool and set for about 10-15 minutes. Once cool, transfer to an airtight container for storage.
Puppy Chow is a quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing treat that combines chocolatey goodness with a satisfying crunch. It’s perfect for sharing—or keeping all to yourself!
