puppy chow

The classic puppy chow: crunchy Chex cereal covered in chocolate, peanut butter, and sugar. It's the best winter snack food (and perfect for gifting, too)!

Puppy Chow Chex Mix

Chex Cereal ((roughly 1 12 ounces box))

chocolate chips

peanut butter

butter ((1 stick))

tsp vanilla extract

sugar

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add in the chocolate chips and peanut butter, stirring frequently until chips are melted and smooth.

Remove saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla.

Add Chex cereal to a 13 quart mixing bowl. Pour chocolate-peanut butter mixture on top and gently stir with a spatula until all Chex cereal is coated. Set bowl aside.

Set a baking sheet nearby and cover with parchment paper.

Add powdered sugar to a Ziploc bag (gallon sized). Working in batches (about 1-2 cups at a time), add coated Chex cereal to bag with powdered sugar, seal or twist the top of the bag closed, and then shake the bag until the Chex cereal is coated with sugar. Remove finished puppy chow and spread out on prepared baking sheet. Repeat step until all the puppy chow is made. When finished, discard plastic bag and any dry powdered sugar that remains inside.

Let puppy chow cool completely before eating. Once cooled, transfer to a sealed container and store for up to 5 days.

This is the best puppy chow recipe! Why? More chocolate, more peanut butter, more powdered sugar! This childhood classic aka muddy buddies just got better. :)&nbsp;Plus, it uses the WHOLE box of cereal and the WHOLE bag of chocolate chips, so less measuring required!

Best Puppy Chow Recipe

(12 oz) box rice

(12 chocolate

unsalted butter ((1/2 cup = 1 stick))

vanilla extract

(2 lb) bag powdered sugar (or less

Place cereal into a large bowl. Set aside.

Place chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter in a large microwave safe bowl.&nbsp;

Microwave for 60 seconds and then stir until smooth. If the chocolate chips haven't melted enough, microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely melted.&nbsp;

Stir in vanilla extract.

Pour the chocolate mixture over the chex cereal and stir together gently with a spatula. DO NOT OVER MIX. The chunks are the best part! The cereal pieces should be completely coated in chocolate, but it&#x27;s ok for a few to clump together.

Pour the powdered sugar over the mixture. Use as much or as little as you like, but I think this is best when no chocolate shows through. Gently stir to combine. Again, don&#x27;t over mix.

Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container!

This is the best puppy chow recipe! Now, I know you probably just rolled your eyes, because who doesn’t know how to make puppy chow?! Here’s the thing. Most people don’t make it right! In my recipe, the ingredients are the same, so what makes my puppy chow even better? The ratio! More chocolate, more peanut butter, more powdered sugar!

Puppy Chow

The Best Puppy Chow Recipe  (AKA: Muddy Buddies) EVER! Only 4 ingredients (no butter) and a few minutes results in an irresistible dessert loaded with chocolate and peanut butter! The perfect sweet treat to feed a crowd! 

Puppy Chow Recipe (Muddy Buddies)

chocolate chips*

peanut butter**

Rice Chex Cereal***

Melt peanut butter and chocolate together, either on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Next, add 3 cups of cereal to a large bowl. Pour 1 cup of your chocolate/peanut butter mixture over the cereal.

Add 3 more cups of cereal to the bowl and then pour the rest of the chocolate/peanut butter mixture on top.

Stir until the cereal is evenly coated. If there are pools of chocolate/peanut butter at the bottom of your bowl, add more cereal 1/4 cup at a time until all that deliciousness is coating your cereal. Remember we WANT clumps, so do NOT add too much cereal!

Let the mixture cool slightly (I throw mine in the fridge or outside on my porch if it's cold out). You do not want it to harden!

Once your mixture is at or below room temperature, add 1 cup of powdered sugar. Mix until combined.

Let cool for about 15 minutes.

Add more powdered sugar 1/4 cup at a time until your cereal is coated to your satisfaction.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature, if it lasts more than 0.3 seconds.

This puppy-friendly puppy chow is a dog-friendly treat that your furry friend will LOVE! Made with dog food, coconut milk powder, and peanut butter.

Puppy-Friendly "Puppy Chow" 

Wild Earth dog food⁣

peanut butter ⁣(or sunflower butter)

coconut milk ⁣(or oat flour)

Scoop the peanut butter into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute, until softened.

Add the Wild Earth food to a large bowl. Pour the softened peanut butter over the kibble, then use a spoon or spatula to mix well, until all pieces of dog food are coated in peanut butter.

Sprinkle about half of the coconut powder over the bowl, then mix to combine. Repeat with the remaining powder. Serve to your pup and let them enjoy! Leftovers will keep at room temperature for 2-3 days, or in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks.

Beautiful, chunky clusters of puppy chow with extra chocolate and peanut butter, and a coating of powdered sugar! Midwest summer bliss.

Extra Good Puppy Chow

12-oz. box of rice Chex cereal (about 10 cups)

sugar (more as needed / desired)

In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter at 30 second intervals until smooth and melted.

Pour chocolate over cereal &#8211; this recipe makes a very large batch so I do this in two big bowls. 

Use a wooden spoon to gently mix the cereal with the chocolate, being careful not to break the cereal.

Place the chocolate coated cereal in the bag and add the powdered sugar over the top (yes, just dump it right in). Shake the bag gently to coat all the pieces with powdered sugar &#8211;  personally I like to go for a wet/dry hybrid approach for optimal clustering, rather than an each-piece-individually-coated-and-dry approach. 

Transfer to a couple of baking sheets, or just lay it out on parchment paper to cool and set. Store this in the freezer for the best clustering and most satisfying crunch!

Made this with my kiddo tonight - so fun! 
We used Trader Joe's peanut butter Puffin cereal which was FANTASTIC.

Well, that was dangerous. Can't. Stop. Going. To the FREEZER.

Having this frozen is absolutely life changing! Does not even compare to room temp puppy chow. This recipe is perfect!

The puppy chow of my Midwestern dreams. This is so good - storing in freezer is such a game-changer! Thank you!!

I got Covid for the first time this week and made this as a treat to myself to help get through. It's so delicious and so easy and so addictive....and this week (at least) I'm also calling it medical. Thank you for the wonderful idea of freezing this...will never turn back!!

Made this for a holiday potluck at work and it was fantastic!!

Lindsay's not wrong... this is definitely a superior puppy chow recipe! Couldn't stop eating it.

My family tells me that this was divine.  I can't eat peanut butter after having my gallbladder removed several years ago so it is testing my willpower to not dig in!  Lol!

My opinion on freezing puppy chow has changed. Holy clusters, Batman!

Two big tips: mix the cereal and powder sugar IN the cereal BAG! you're going to throw that away anyway! I did mine in two batches in the and rolled the top and it worked great. Secondly, I added about 1/2 cup cocoa powder to the powdered sugar for an extra chocolate boost and a moody coating. Sooooo good

THE MOTHER LOAD - you are adorable. Your writing always makes me laugh because I talk the same way; I crack everyone up. This recipe will be made soon - it sounds fantastic, definitely superior to the regular recipe....thank you and keep that sense of humor!
