Crispix Puppy Chow (Similar to Chex Muddy Buddies)

I needed to make a couple of changes. I only had real butter and milk chocolate chips. I believe it would be better with semi sweet chips. I also believe that only half of the powdered sugar is needed. I had an abundance on the bottom after. Other than that, this is a great recipe!

I make this every year and it never seems to last long. It is truly addictive!

Taste was good but the chocolate/peanut butter mix was to thick. Crushed a lot of the Cripix when mixing. Checked a few other recipes and they call for I stick of butter. 3 tbs would probably make the difference. It is still good just kind of smaller pieces, I guess.

@Brandi and friend,

This recipe could also be done by using the microwave. Melt chocolate, peanut butter and butter for 30 seconds to 1 minute at a time until completely melted (about 3 to 5 minutes). It's safer, but the bowl you melt it in will get very hot, so BE CAREFUL!

Great recipe - to save having to find a bag as well, just re-use the bag that the cereal came in to shake on the powdered sugar!

I had quite a bit of Barbara's Shredded Oats that I had put on the grocery list instead of our favorite, Shredded Spoonfuls, which are more like Crispix of Life cereal. Anyway, the recipe worked fine and is delicious.

Have been having some bake sales during lunch at my kids H.S. to raise money for after prom. The puppy chow is the first to go. Today we had 2 mom's make it. Looked up the recipe so I can make a couple of batches for tomorrow. It's delicious!! BTW we sold sandwich baggies of it for $.50.

Thank you. I was looking all over for a recipe that didn't use Chex. I have lots of Crispix cereal but didnt have any Chex and wanted to make this for a gift. Did not have time to run and get any. Thank you so much!
