Reese’s Pieces Brownie Puppy Chow
There is a great debate in our house about what the snack mixture pictured above is called. I call it puppy chow, Ryan says they are muddy buddies.
Technically (according to wikipedia, yes my great official source) Chex cereals coined the term “Muddy Buddies.” And I also learned that Puppy Chow/Muddy Buddies is a midwest thing – is that true?
Anyway, what do you call them?
This is a super easy recipe:
reese’s pieces + brownie pieces + puppy chow (using brownie mix instead of powdered sugar) = reese’s pieces brownie puppy chow
Anyone else feel like they could bring this to their next halloween party? It would be spooktacular!
One year for Halloween Ryan and I went as Steve Irwin and a crocodile.
We like coming up with unique couple costumes. Do you have any good ideas?

I call it Puppy Chow :) I believe that many traditional recipes called for Crispex cereal which is becoming harder to find. I usually only see it around Christmas (maybe for making puppy chow??) Chex cereal was an easy replacement and later recipes called for that. Chex cereal coined the “Muddy Buddies” name when they started promoting the recipe using solely their cereal. I am from Minnesota, so there’s the Midwest thing I guess?? Maybe you can tell a true puppy chow fan from a latecomer based on what they call it.
Your recipe looks delicious! thank you!
Haha, thanks for your insight and it’s always fun to meet someone else from MN!

In Oklahoma we make Puppy Chow with Crispex cereal. Can’t wait to try your version. Thanks!
I hope you enjoy it!
Is there an alternative to using the microwave? The microwave in my apartment is from dinosaur-era and doesn’t “cook” anything properly, and I want to make this so bad!!
You can definitely use the stove top to melt the chocolate and peanut butter!
This looks yummy! Thanks so much for sharing at the Scoop!…hugs…Debbie
I appreciate you coming by Debbie!
