I dare you...

to make THIS and not sit and eat the entire batch at once. (http://www.chexmix.com/Recipes/RecipeView.aspx?RecipeId=19919&CategoryId=342) Because I came pretty darn close lol. So I froze the rest to try and deter my munchies and you know what?? they taste good frozen too! :p

[Megan Turnidge]

Yup... Muddy Buddies are soooo good!!!!! :) mmmmmmmm!

[Robin Carlton]

Replace one cup of the chex with nuts (walnuts are my fave) - even better than plain muddy buddies!

[Libby Pritchett]

Oh I KNOW!! I make it at Christmas time.... SO good!!!

[nikkiARNGwife]

I think I'm going to try them with peanut butter chips next time instead of chocolate...mmm.

[meganmecrazy]

Oh, I've been making this for years! My grandmother showed me how to make it when I was little and she would make it with me all the time and it is still a party favorite!!! We called it Puppy Chow though! LOL! And YES, VERY VERY addicting!

[digideb]

hehe. we don't call that muddy buddies in South GA! lol
But, yes, YUMMY!!!

[ColleenSwerb]

I friggen LOVE that stuff. Stupid diet. :glare:

[jessica31876]

ive had those before but since chocolate isnt really my thing I can eat just one or two and be ok. (now if it was peanut butter instead Id be in trouble LOL)

[ajf9597]

I LOVE that stuff, but haven't made it since DD was born

[kscwgirl]

I love Puppy Chow. One of the very few ways I will eat peanut butter.

[lizzyfizzy]

that is an impossible challenge! when i make them they are gone in a matter of minutes. CANNOT STOP EATING MUDDY BUDDIES!

[1girl1boy]

We call that Puppy Chow around our house. Good stuff!

[tuneskids]

thanks Nikki, for making me want something I can't have ... cause we don't get Chex up here! Dang you!

[MamaBee]

OH no!!! I made the mistake of making a batch for our road trip and I think I ate the whole batch myself... at least the scale showed I gained 4 pounds. My 2 year old DS didn't like it (odd)... and my hubby prefers regular chex mix... so it was all mine.

I'm drooling thinking about it...

[RatherBScrappin]

They call it Puppy Chow around here, too...good stuff!

[mummytothree]

WOW...am I the only one that has never had that before!?!?!? I've had regualr chex mix but never that kind!!!! I'm headed to the store...i might need to pick up those ingredients!!!!

[Shawna]

Ooh we love Puppy Chow too, I haven't made it in forever though. Might have to pick up the ingredients the next time I grocery shop & make some!

[Sharon Kay]

I was afraid to click it...but looked at the ingredients...I'm safe from it...I don't care for peanut butter except on PB&J and to dip carrots into. LOL I was afraid it was going to be a recipe similar to what I made last month that about put me in a chocolate coma!

You know, as soon as I saw your first sentence, I just KNEW you were talking about Puppy Chow, even without seeing what you were making! That stuff is like snack crack.

[kscwgirl]

You know, as soon as I saw your first sentence, I just KNEW you were talking about Puppy Chow, even without seeing what you were making! That stuff is like snack crack.

No, this is crack. Seriously.

1 box Rice Chex (or other brand)
1 1/3 C. sugar
1/2 C white Karo syrup
1 C butter (2 sticks) NOT MARGARINE
2 tsp. vanilla
1-2 C peanuts (whatever you like)

Pour box of rice chex in a huge bowl. Heat sugar, Karo syrup and butter over stove with candy thermometer, until it reaches the softball stage (240 degrees). If you don't have a candy thermometer then you will know it's done when it's really bubbling and turns a caramel color. Remove from burner and add 2 tsp. vanilla (be careful, it may spit at you). Add peanuts and stir. Pour over the rice chex and mix/stir with a big spoon until it is all coated. Spread it out on a "sprayed" wax paper or tin foil until it cools. Enjoy!

It's addictive!!!

[Paula]

I made that at Christmas for a cookie/candy exchange and I couldn't stop eating it. I had to make a second batch to fill all my commitments. LOL

[crystalbella77]

yeah we don't call it that...but we make this a lot! sooooo yummy!

[suze]

ohh love some puppy chow!!

[scrappurple]

Nope, not gonna do it. No way Jose ... it will be gone. Kids will ask what that smell is and I'll have to say with a mouth full of the last bite ... "what smell"???? ;)

[mdb21]
