Christmas Puppy Chow Recipe

Our family loves Puppy Chow Chex or maybe you know it as Muddy Buddy Recipe. Whatever name you call it, it’s a huge hit. These are so good! The kids ate them all in one afternoon! It’s the perfect treat for the kids or to take to the neighbors for Christmas.

The powdered sugar combined with the peanut butter is amazing! Throw in some Christmas M&M’s and this treat can’t be beat!

This Christmas version is red and green and makes the mix look so festive! We use red candy melts and green candy melts to get this gorgeous Christmas look. Any brand will do, but I use Wiltons.
