Muddy Buddies, Reindeer Poop, or Puppy Chow…..what they have in common is chex cereal, some type of coating and powdered sugar. Where they differ seems to be the coating. Many varieties contain chocolate, but this one is peanut butter all the way.
Don’t get me wrong, I love, love, love chocolate. But the peanut butter coating over the little crunchy chex cereal kicks butt, and not to mention, powdered sugar……yum! (can you ever fail with powered sugar?) If you can’t live without your chocolate, then just toss in some M & M’s. I believe that will suffice!
The original recipe that I misplaced many years ago, was called Peanut Corn Chex (I believe), but I have friends that refer to this peanut butter goodness as “reindeer poop.” (thank you Jessica) Whatever name you choose, this recipe is quick, simple and becomes a great gift giving treat for the holidays. (or any day)
