Description
This easy Muddy Buddy Mix recipe is a much loved snack for a simple treat to whip up for parties, game nights, or the holidays. Puppy Chow can be made with or without the Christmas M&M’s. With a delicious peanut butter and chocolate coating this crunchy cereal snack mix is irresistible!
Ingredients
9 cups chex cereal (we used corn chex)
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Red & Green M&Ms
Instructions
- To a microwave safe bowl, add chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave for 30 seconds, and stir well.
- Microwave for 30 seconds more, and stir again. If not melted, microwave on 15 second increments and stir until smooth. Remove from the microwave and stir in vanilla extract, mixing well.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the chex cereal, and toss to coat.
- Divide the powdered sugar between two gallon storage bags.
- Scoop the chocolate covered chex into the gallon bags, and shake well to coat the cereal in the sugar.
- Spread the coated cereal onto a parchment lined baking sheet, and allow to set for about 30 minutes.
- Before serving, add in M&M’s and toss.
Notes
Storage instructions:
Store puppy chow in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature for up to 7 days. I prefer to store it in an airtight container cooled in the fridge for 10 to 14 days and sit for a couple of minutes at room temperate before serving.
Freeze muddy buddy mix in a freezer-safe container for 2 to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
