When I was growing up, Puppy Chow was one of my favorite snacks that my mom would make for us. Not only is it yummy but its very easy to make and she always let us help. This recipe is so great because we usually always have all the ingredients on hand, and you only need 5 things!
I know some people called these “Muddy Buddies” but where I am from we called it Puppy Chow. Which sometimes concerned people when we told them we would bring it to a potluck or as a snack.
For this recipe you only need a few things, a small pot, a silicone spatula, and a large bowl with a lid. If you don’t have a bowl big enough with a lid that’s okay. The lid just makes it easier to mix at the end, plus its fun to let the kids shake up!
Puppy Chow
Ingredients
- 8 cups Crispix Cereal
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cups peanut butter creamy
- 1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter
- 2.5 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Measure out your cereal into an extra large mixing bowl
- On low heat, melt your chocolate chips and oil/butter together, stirring continuously until smooth. Don't walk away from your chocolate because it can burn very quickly!
- Once the chocolate has melted, turn off the heat and stir your peanut butter until combined.
- Pour mixture over Crispix and stir gently with a silicone spatula until the cereal is evenly coated.
- Add your powdered sugar and shake with a secure lid (if possible). If you do not have a lid, carefully shake until cereal is evenly coated with the powdered sugar. Enjoy!
