So the other night I had a craving.  Like I didn’t want cake or chips or even hummus (yes I crave hummus).  Ice cream wasn’t cutting it only because Mr. Fantabulous has completely burnt me out on ice cream thanks to his now 5 week straight daily Banana Split ‘requirement’.

Since I have been on this Vanilla Chex kick aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I was rummaging through my freezer and found leftover Halloween candy I figured I would make a batch of puppy chow.

Now for those of you that don’t know what ‘Puppy Chow’ is you may know it by ‘Muddy Buddy’ or chex mix. Puppy chow is cereal coated with melted chocolate, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. There are, however, different flavors of puppy chow. Puppy chow is one of those things that take as little as 3 ingredients to a max of maybe 7 or 8.  Anything more than you have waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more time than I have!

This took maybe 5 minutes to make and 10 minutes to chill in the fridge .. but I may or may not have partaken in several… hundred tastings.

I’ll be posting other renditions of this as the days go by.  This is an awesome snack for sending care packages to your kids or snacks for after school activities.
