Puppy Chow

Puppy chow is a no-bake recipe that takes Crispex or Chex cereal, coats it in a chocolate peanut butter coating, and finishes it off with a generous dusting of powdered sugar. This treat is known by many names: Muddy Buddies, Muddy Munch, Monkey Munch, and Reindeer Chow, to name a few. This simple, delicious treat is a favorite in our home!

Puppy Chow is very popular in the midwest. Us midwesterners have to think of all sorts of treats to get us through the winter season. We are also a crowd that likes a good party, and we like to have lots of nibbles while watching various sports. Puppy chow is extremely hard to stop eating once you’ve started. We have some friends that have declared themselves the best at making Puppy Chow. I will admit their Puppy Chow is, or should I say, was superior to ours. That is until, my gal, Beth gave away her Puppy Chow making secrets! The SECRET to making the best Puppy Chow is making it in a extra large bowl, for tossing, and not to skimp on the powdered sugar!
