I have a new favorite puppy chow! Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Puppy Chow. Or muddy buddies, if you prefer. I grew up calling it puppy chow. But then I moved to Washington State and- when I talked about eating puppy chow- people thought I was talking about literal dog food.

Muddy buddies made with peanut butter, milk chocolate, and Reese’s peanut butter chips. Reese’s peanut butter cups. A dash of Reese’s pieces. Heaven.

It’s easy to make. And if you have kids, they can toss the coated cereal in the powdered sugar…just make sure the Ziploc is sealed tight!

Now a question for you, my dear reader. What new muddy buddy flavor would you like to see? Andes mint? Apple Pie? Twix? Cinnamon Roll? I’m constantly making new muddy buddy combinations. In face, you might want to check out the ENTIRE PAGE dedicated to various Muddy Buddy combinations and barks…”Puppy Chow (aka: Muddy Buddies)”
