In light of our fabulous news about getting a puppy (please see my other blog for details), and the fact that I still have Chex cereal to use up, I decided to make Chex Muddy Buddies, otherwise known as Puppy Chow. Does anyone else called it Puppy Chow? Jerm looked at my like I had a second head when I asked him if he wanted me to make him some Puppy Chow...but that's what I've always called it.
This is a very simple and easy recipe, and it's one of my favorite sweet treats. I do not make it very often because when I do I just want to eat it, but it's great every once in a while and excellent for get-together's. The recipe is from the box/website of Chex cereal. By the way, if you have some free time, check out the Chex website because they have a TON of great Chex mix recipes. There is one with coconut and ginger that Jerm and I love. Yummy! So, next time you want a sweet chocolately snack, try this Puppy Chow. Oh, and check out the substitution tip from the website....I'm definitely going to try that the next time I make this.
Enjoy!
