Snickerdoodle Puppy Chow, also known as Muddy Buddies, is a delicious cinnamon-chex mix coated in white chocolate and powdered sugar for a sweet, crunchy snack. This quick, no-bake treat delivers the nostalgic flavors of snickerdoodles in a fun, easy-to-make party mix perfect for satisfying sweet cravings or sharing at gatherings.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 10 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 6 cups Chex cereal (or 4 cups Chex and 2 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch)
  • 3 tsp cinnamon, divided
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 12 oz white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cereal base: Pour the Chex cereal into a medium-sized bowl, ensuring it is evenly distributed to allow for consistent coating.
  2. Melt the white chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 25 second increments at 50% power, stirring thoroughly between each interval. When the majority of the chocolate is melted, stir continuously to melt the remaining chips, taking care not to overheat to prevent seizing.
  3. Add cinnamon to melted chocolate: Stir 1 ½ teaspoons of cinnamon into the melted white chocolate until fully combined for that signature snickerdoodle flavor.
  4. Coat the cereal: Pour the cinnamon white chocolate mixture over the cereal. Gently stir until every piece of cereal is evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
  5. Prepare powdered sugar mixture: In a gallon-sized plastic bag, combine the powdered sugar with the remaining 1 ½ teaspoons of cinnamon and mix well.
  6. Coat cereal with powdered sugar: Transfer the chocolate-coated cereal into the plastic bag with the cinnamon powdered sugar. Seal the bag and toss gently until the cereal pieces are thoroughly coated with the sugary cinnamon dusting.
  7. Cool and serve: Transfer the coated puppy chow back to a bowl. Allow it to cool and set for about 15 minutes before serving to ensure the coating firms up perfectly.

Notes

  • Do not overheat the white chocolate as it can become thick and seize, making it unusable. Use 50% power increments when microwaving or opt for a double boiler method for safer melting.
  • Store this puppy chow in an airtight container at room temperature to keep it fresh for up to 1-2 weeks, though it rarely lasts that long!
  • Be sure to stir and coat the cereal thoroughly to ensure the powdered sugar sticks properly and every piece is flavorful.
