SO good and super easy to make. I just microwaved the chocolate/PB to make even faster.

CHANGE TIPS: To make the "goo" easier to toss, and for a bit of extra flavor, add 1/4 cup butter. Use a very large pot, (large enough to hold all the cereal in and toss), and melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the chips and peanut butter until melted. (I've made this with combinations of semi-sweet, milk chocolate, and butterscotch chips. Doesn't matter what proportions of which, as it's all delicious!) Stir the cereal into the melted mixture in the pot. Let cool in pot until pot is room temperature. Put pot in fridge for 5-10 minutes to firm the coating. Then put mixture into a 2-gallon ziploc bag that contains the sugar and shake until evenly coated. Store in refrigerator. Delicious! It goes fast, but do not double this recipe as it will be too difficult to stir it all together without spilling and making a mess. Just make two consecutive batches.

I love puppy chow and have been making this for years. The only change I do is use Chex Mix instead of just cereal. I like the variety. Puppy chow is definately easy and good.

This stuff makes a great snack, especially for kids. I am 24 and my mom used to make it for me when I was little, so when I found this recipe I wanted to give it a try myself. It is a little messy to make, and I recommend using milk chocolate chips instead of semi sweet chocolate chips, I find when I use the semi sweet chips it tastes a little bitter. I also use extra powdered sugar. Other than that, this is a great snack recipe!

I love this! Even my mom, who HATES peanut butter, loves puppy chow! I make it every time I fly. I just put it in a 1 quart ziploc bag and it is perfect for a snack on the plane. I use 1 stick of butter, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, and 1 bag of chocolate chips. Also, I melt the pb and butter first and then add the chocolate chips becuase it is easy for the chocolate to burn. The only problem is the mess I create every time I make this!

I can't get enough of this stuff! I made it for my daughter's Valentine's party at school. I added 1/4 cup butter to the peanut butter and chocolate recipe and melted it in the microwave. I coated the cereal with the mixture using gloved hands (easier than a spoon), then laid it on wax paper for about 30 minutes. I only used 1 cup of powdered sugar and that was more than enough to coat it! Will make this for many years to come.

Terrific Recipe....but I didn't have any Chex cereal so used Mini Wheats. Fabulous recipe now! It gives the snack more body and something to sink your teeth into!

I love this stuff, my kids love it, and the kids I worked with love it. My husband and I have experimented with adding extra PB, power sugar and even adding cocoa power for a dark chocolate effect. I posted a picture to show how mine turned out.

Thanks! This turned out exactly how I had hoped, and worked perfectly for the ski weekend we just went on. Not a piece of chow left. :)

Coming across this recipe brought a smile to my face and evoked years and years of delightful memories with my children--classroom treats, sleepovers, birthday parties...even finding pieces of Puppy Chow underneath their beds! This is a treat, I'm sure, that has pleased millions of kids and adults alike. The original recipe adds 1/4 cup of butter melted with the chocolate chips and peanut butter, in the microwave, for about a minute and a half, stirring after one minute. Then stir in 1 tsp. of vanilla. Once laid out on waxed paper, the challenge is to wait until the Puppy Chow (or Muddie Buddies) is cool before you start nibbling!

This is a fun snack. After mixing some of the cereal into the chocolate mixture, I poured it onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper to distribute the chocolate more evenly. After it was all coated I let it cool for a few minutes, then put it into a big bowl and sprinkled it with the powdered sugar. I did not use nearly as much powdered sugar as the recipe called for; it was plenty sweet with just a little to keep the cereal from sticking together too much. I also did not use the full amount of cereal as there was not enough chocolate to coat it all. Hint: do not add the powdered sugar until the chocolate has(mostly)cooled; otherwise you will get that wet texture others have mentioned and the chocolate will just absorb the sugar.
