White Chocolate Christmas Puppy Chow

Some of you know it as muddy buddies, but I’ve always referred to the delicious chocolatey, peanut buttery, powderey chex goodness as puppy chow. 

As a kid, I remember my mom making puppy chow in huge batches as a treat in the summertime. She always saved the large ice cream tubs and would store the large quantities in those.

My favorite was finding a large chunk of the chex pieces that were stuck together and coated solid in the chocolate and peanut butter mix.

Puppy chow is something I’ve continued to make as an adult. It’s so quick and easy to throw together and you just can’t beat the blend of flavors.

For this recipe, I mixed things up a bit by using white chocolate chips and adding in some holiday cheer with red and green M&M’s®. 

Enjoy!
