Have you ever made Muddy Buddies, or Puppy Chow around the holidays? If so, you are probably a huge chocolate and peanut butter fan like myself. If you have made Muddy Buddies before, you probably know that the VERY BEST bites are those clumps that get stuck together. Those clumps always have more chocolate and peanut butter in them, and they are SOOOO GOOD! I decided to simplify the Muddy Buddy recipe, while also ensuring that each bite is that amazing ratio of chocolate and peanut butter to cereal that I love. Try out my Muddy Buddy Bars recipe today!
Here are some tips for making my Puppy Chow Bars:
- Pro tip: you DO NOT need the name brand cereal for this recipe! It is essentially just a vehicle for the more important ingredients, and its main purpose is to add that element of “crunch”. Now is the time for the store brands and saving a buck!
- This recipe can easily be cut in half, doubled or even tripled. Whatever works for you and your plans!
These are the ingredients that you will need for this easy chocolate and peanut butter treat:
- Chex cereal
- Chocolate chips
- Peanut butter
- Confectioners sugar
