Puppy Chow

Recipe By: Milk Bar

The seasons are changing, there’s a nip in the air, and you know what that means—it’s baking weather. And one of our favorite fall-time recipes, lovingly referred to as Muddy Buddies, fuses many things we’re totally obsessed with: chocolate, cereal, and imagination. This highly versatile recipe is perfect for any skill level and is our go-to for fun year-round, but we especially love it when our minds start thinking about candy 24/7, right around Halloween. Toss your puppy chow in seasonal sprinkles for a spooky vibe or swap in some of your favorite fall candies for a seasonal flavor story. Also, this yummy snack is known to be a huge crowd pleaser when it comes to trick or treat time—hello new favorite house on the block. Now let’s get started!
