Puppy Chow - Muddy Buddies - Wintry Mix: A Big Bowl of Chocolately Goodness!
Posted by SouthShore Chick at 10:00 AMI grew up calling this snack Muddy Buddies, and when I met and married my Ohio Country Boy his family corrected me saying these things were called Puppy Chow! Then I moved to Maryland and “Wintry Mix” is what they were.
Puppy Chow – Muddy Buddies – Wintry Mix…
Whatever y’all call ‘em, it’s all the same:
A BIG BOWL OF CHOCOLATEY GOODNESS,
perfect for any occassion!!
If your kids want to help prep for the next Party or Family Game Night, let them throw this snack together on their own!
PUPPY CHOW - MUDDY BUDDIES – WINTRY MIX
One (1) 12.8-oz box Rice, Wheat or Corn Chex Cereal
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
½ cup creamy peanut butter
¼ cup ( ½ stick) butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups confectioners’ sugar
- Empty entire box of Chex cereal into a large bowl (If you own a Tupperware Thatsa Bowl, use it!).
- Into a 3-cup microwavable bowl (Pampered Chef Micro-cooker works great!), measure chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter, then microwave for one minute; stir. Microwave about 30 seconds more or until mixture is smooth.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour mixture over cereal and turn to coat with a large spoon until all cereal is completely coated.
- If your bowl has a tight fitting lid, add confectioners’ sugar, seal with lid and give it a couple good shakes – rattles – and rolls, until the cereal is well-coated and snowy white. (If no lid is available, then grab yourself a 2-gallon Ziploc bag, dump your chocolate coated cereal inside, dump in the confectioners’ sugar, seal tight and shake – shake – shake until each piece of cereal is well-coated with that snowy-white goodness! (If there is more than one child making this, each child can take a turn shaking the bag, yay!)
- Your party snack can be stored in an airtight container inside the refrigerator.
