Easy and delicious, this addictive, sweet Puppy Chow recipe is perfect for all holidays! The classic Muddy Buddies...with the option to add in holiday colored candies!
Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate chips)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a double boiler, or microwave, melt chocolate chips with butter. When melted, stir in peanut butter until combined.
- Measure out the rice Chex cereal into a large bowl. Pour melted chocolate mixture over the cereal and stir until evenly coated.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar and mix until combined and cereal is coated evenly.
- Allow to set, about one hour.
Notes
- You can also add the cereal to a ziploc bag after adding the chocolate. Add the powdered sugar to the bag, zip closed, and shake!
- Store in airtight container for up to one week.
- For a spring/ Easter version, add 1 cup mini marshmallows, ½ cup marshmallow bits, and 1 cup pastel colored chocolate candies.
- Can I use a different cereal? Absolutely! Crispex, Golden Grahams and Cinnamon Toast Crunch all work great. Chex is unique though in it's ability to "house" the chocolate filling inside!
- What kind of chocolate is best? We love using semi-sweet chocolate, but milk and dark chocolate work great too! Use a quality brand for best results. And always buy fresh!
