One of my favorite childhood snacks was puppy chow – or as Chex calls it, Muddy Buddies.
They were always a fan favorite at parties, and they are simple to make – despite how they look.
Ingredients:
9 cups of Chex cereal
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, pour in the Chex cereal.
2. In a saucepan, combine butter, peanut butter, and chocolate chips. Then, stir frequently until melted. Once completely melted, remove from heat and add vanilla.
3. Pour the mixture over the Chex cereal and stir until there is an even coat on the cereal.
4. In one large ziplock bag or several small ones, pour the cereal mix inside.
5. Pour the powder sugar into the ziplock bag and then shake well until all the cereal is coated.
6. Place the puppy chow on parchment paper to let cool before placing it into a container.
