Muddy Buddies, Puppy Chow, Monkey Munch, whatever you want to call it, is a quick to throw together sweet snack thats been around seemingly forever. I remember first trying it when friends' parents would bring it to class parties at school. For years and years, I never had puppy chow again until I got a bag of it this past Christmas. It reignited my love for the chocolatey, peanut buttery, sweet crunchy snack and not long after I whipped up a batch of it. I made a half batch (see the following recipe) but it could easily be doubled.
Muddy Buddies
Ingredients:
4 1/2 cups Rice or Corn Chex
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 Tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup confectioners sugar
Directions:
Measure the cereal, put in a large bowl and set aside.
In a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter, stir until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Pour mixture over cereal, gently stirring until evenly coated. Pour into 2-gallon resealable zippy plastic bag.
Add powdered sugar. Seal bag; shake until well coated. Spread on parchment paper to cool. Store in airtight container.
I also wanted to share with you one of our newest products. We have a few new Smart Baker items coming out, one of which I am SO excited about, but I'll save that secret until I have better pictures of it :) This one is pretty amazing, too.
We've now made a Bar-b-que counterpart to our popular Baking apron! Instead of a convenient measurement chart printed upside down for bakers to read while baking, we've made a Bar-b-que Temperatures and Grilling Time chart - still printed upside down for easy reading! There are two different designs, both come in either black, green or blue. It's a great gift for father's day, or for all those summer BBQs you'll be going to. Great for all the lovable BBQ masters in your life! :) For more info on our BBQ Apron, visit The Smart Baker's shop. Also, if you're not a fan of The Smart Baker on Facebook yet - you should be! We'll be posting Facebook fan only coupons, giveaways, and more. (Stay tuned for a very exciting new product I'm sure all you bakers will love!)

Muddy Buddies... are so good. One time my girlfriend made them and had them in a huge bowl. I ate the mindlessly (is that a word? lol) until my tummy started to ache. I almost ate the whole bowl!
Fallon - it is easy to eat a whole bowl of these bad boys without even realizing it! They are dangerous little buddies :)
This looks really yummy. How much peanut butter? I didn't see that in the recipe.
Mrs. Bump - Oh my goodness, you're right! What a booboo. I've added it back in. 1/4 Cup of peanut butter. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! Sorry 'bout that!
These are so yummy! The funny thing is, you can't really sit down and eat 4 cups of cereal in one sitting but you CAN eat 4 cups of Muddy Buddies! I really enjoy your blog.
