Muddy Buddies Recipe
Muddy Buddies (also known as Puppy Chow) is a nostalgic peanut butter and chocolate snack that is so delicious and easy to make. You'll never need to buy them from the store again. Kids and adults alike will scarf these down by the handful.
Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 5 cups Rice Chex or corn Chex
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 1 1/3 cup peanut butter be sure it's emulsified like Jif
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, melt together the chocolate chips and peanut butter in 30-second bursts until the chocolate is mostly melted. Add in the salt and stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted.
- Add the vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture and stir until well combined.
- Add the Chex cereal into the chocolate mixture, 2 cups at a time. Use a silicone or rubber spatula to carefully toss the Chex until it's completely coated. Then add more cereal, repeating the process.
- Place half the powdered sugar into the bottom of a zip-top bag. Use a large spoon to transfer the cereal into the bag then add the remaining powdered sugar on top. Seal the bag well and shake continuously until the cereal is completely coated in sugar.
- Store in the fridge, sealed tightly, for up to a week. Or, place in a freezer-safe container and freeze up to 3 months.
Notes
I like to separate the muddy buddies into serving-size zip-top bags and store them in the freezer until ready to enjoy. We bring these out for movie nights, road trips, etc.
