Create this irresistible Cookies and Cream Puppy Chow, also known as Muddy Buddies, in under 10 minutes. This recipe combines crispy cereal, white chocolate, and crushed Oreos for a sweet, crunchy party snack mix.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Chex cereal (Rice or Corn)
  • 10 ounces white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, divided
  • 1 package (about 14.3 ounces) Oreo cookies, crushed

Instructions

  1. Place the Chex cereal into a very large bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the mixture is completely smooth. This usually takes 60 to 90 seconds total.
  3. Stir the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture.
  4. Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal in the large bowl. Gently fold the cereal until it is evenly coated.
  5. Place half of the powdered sugar into a large zip-top bag. Add the coated cereal to the bag. Seal the bag and shake until the cereal is lightly dusted. Transfer the dusted cereal to a separate large bowl.
  6. Add the remaining half of the powdered sugar to the zip-top bag. Add the crushed Oreo cookies to the bag. Shake to combine the sugar and cookie crumbs.
  7. Pour the crushed cookie mixture over the already dusted cereal. Gently toss everything together until the cereal is fully coated with the cookie crumbs and remaining sugar.
  8. Spread the finished snack mix onto a sheet of parchment paper to cool and set before serving.

Notes

  • For the best coating, crush your Oreos finely. You can use a food processor or place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute half of the white chocolate chips with milk chocolate chips for a Cookies and Cream Muddy Buddies twist.
  • This snack mix is best eaten within two days for maximum crunch. Store it in an airtight container at room temperature.
