Description

Crunchy, chocolatey, and dusted in sweet powdered sugar, Muddy Buddies (aka Puppy Chow) are the ultimate no-bake snack everyone loves.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 cups Chex cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Place the Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl.

  3. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the melted mixture over the cereal and gently stir until all pieces are coated.
  5. Transfer the coated cereal to a gallon-size zip bag or container with a lid.

Notes
