Chocolate Friday: Puppy Chow
I think most people have made this and don’t need to see the recipe. Amazingly, I’ve had this before but never made it. Didn’t even know it was called such an odd name. Why is something that tastes so good called Puppy Chow??? Anyone know?
My oldest was going on retreat and they were talking about how good this was. I decided to make it myself. Oh my… this is so good and easy. A wonderful quick snack to make! Have you had it or made it? I’m sure my children will request this again!

Hi, Kristal! I’ve never actually made this, though I’ve heard of it. I have no idea where the name came from. I love simple recipes!
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one!
I only recently started hearing it called puppy chow. I’d always known it as muddy buddies.
Another interesting name!
Oh YEAH!! I used to eat this stuff in high school….soooo good!!
We always called it Puppy Chow too… now that I think of it, yeah, that’s weird!! LOL!
Mmmmmmmmmmm….right up my alley…delicious! I’ve had this before, never knew what it was called. Interesting!
Ladybug is famous for it, but she uses more PS, so hers come out WHITE. Muddie Buddies, yes, but we call it Puppy Chow too. I think it’s just for fun. Like Vomit dip! YUM!
Vomit Dip????
Yum!!!
This is one of our favorite treats, and we’ve always known it as muddie buddies too, though I have heard of it called puppy chow before. I think, personally, I like muddie buddies.
