Puppy Chow


Puppy Chow, Monster Mix, Muddy Buddy, Chocolate Chex, what ever you may; this messy, tasty, finger licking snack is quick to make in a pinch. There are so many ways to dress is up for special occasions as well. Add in a few colored candies of the current holiday, like M&M’s. Waa-LA. Don’t forget to hand out a wet paper towel with each handful, as this one is for sure the king of messy casual snacks.

Your ingredients:

  • 9 cups any kind of Chex
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar (optional more)

In a microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips, butter, and peanut butter. Start at 30 seconds, stir. Then go in 10 second increments, stirring each time. Don’t let the chocolate burn.

Once completely smooth, pour over the cereal. Scrape all the chocolate out of bowl using a scraper, then fold cereal and chocolate together. Be careful not to crush the cereal.

After the cereal is chocolate covered, pour in a little of the powdered sugar. Mix it up. Then mix in the remaining powdered sugar. You may wish for more sugar, if so, go ahead. Messier the better.

  At this point you can add in the extra candies if you want.  Mild Duds, M&M’s, mints, malted milk balls. Think about the theme, add accordingly.

Puppy Chow is an inexpensive treat. Share it and then make more.

Hello from Little Iowa Farmstead, I'm Tara. A wife, mother of four teenagers & fulltime CST (surgical technologist). I love my job-- I also love to do projects of all kinds at home. My project To Do list is HUGE... That's where this blog comes in. I want to be accountable for the ever growing list of projects that need to be, and that I want to accomplish. With my favorite play ground Pinterest, we all understand the To Do is long. Spring-Fall has us at our busiest with gardening, spring babies, getting ready for the county fair, harvesting the fruits of the growing season, and time for travel. During the winter, while the season is short, it feels like we just can't get out to 'DO'. So the planning & preparing happens. Here's to a wonderful, productive, happy, healthy New Year and all that we are blessed with.
