We LOVE this recipe. We have been making it for years!!
We love it even more now because it’s actually GLUTEN FREE when you use Chex!
Everyone seems to love this stuff!! I make it at Christmastime and throw in some of those red and green M&Ms to make it a little festive–easy and fun!!
@Sharon, M&Ms=great idea.
I’ve made this with my daughters a few times and everyone just loves it.
@Jenn, A little addicting, right???
Oh wow, I’ve NEVER heard of this, but I really want to try it now!!
@Desiree Fawn,
@Desiree Fawn, What? Are you serious? Maybe this isn’t popular in CA? It is soooo yummy. The best part is when you melt the chocolate/peanut butter/butter in a pot. Smells & tastes amazing.
@Mom Spark, Hah, yeah it must not be a big thing here — or perhaps I’m living under a rock. I’ll ask my mom if she’s ever heard of it 🙂
@Desiree Fawn, I insist that you try it. I’m totally bringing you some to BlogHer.
I love this stuff! I always get a stomach ache, because I always overeat it, but I do love it!
Just bought some today by chex called Muddie Buddies hehe I guess because Puppy Chow was taken. In a pinch theirs is good too.
What a nice treat to keep out for snacking…the heck with the kids..I want some.
Yum! I bought ingredients to make this this weekend….can’t wait!
Looks awesome but name should be changed. Someone will give it to a puppy and it would be toxic.
I absolutely LOVE puppy chow and cannot wait to try this recipe! Thank you for this!!
You will love it!
