Perfect for movie night or snacking throughout the day, puppy chow, or muddy buddies, is a classic chocolatey treat.
While it goes by many names (muddy buddies, monkey munch, etc.), one thing always remains the same — you won’t be able to stop snacking once you start.
With rich dark chocolate, creamy peanut butter, and crunchy rice cereal, puppy chow has long been the go-to snack for potlucks, parties, and those late-night munchies.
Take this timeless treat from conventional to spectacular with the added bonus of cannabis. Whether you choose a CBD or THC infusion, Miss Marijuana has got you covered.
Muddy Buddies/Puppy Chow Recipe
Ingredients: (Makes 15 servings)
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (sub almond for allergies)
- CBD Tincture of choosing or THC coconut oil (amount varies depending on the desired dosage)
- 6-7 cups rice cereal (Chex is the popular choice)
- 1-2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions:
-Melt peanut butter and chocolate together, either on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring as you go to prevent burning.
-Stir the melted mixture until completely smooth and shiny.
-Thoroughly mix in either your CBD tincture or THC coconut oil. If you choose to go the THC route, try to add no more than ¼ cup of coconut oil to the peanut butter and chocolate as that will make for a very wet puppy chow.
-Next, add 3 cups of cereal to a large bowl.
-Pour 1 cup of your chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the cereal.
-Add 3 more cups of cereal to the bowl and then pour the rest of the chocolate and peanut butter mixture on top.
-Stir until the cereal is evenly coated. If there are pools of chocolate/peanut butter at the bottom of your bowl, add more cereal 1/4 cup at a time until all of that deliciousness is coating your cereal.
-If you like clumps and globs of chocolate and peanut buttery goodness, do not add too much cereal. Less is more!
-Let the mixture cool slightly but do not let it harden.
-Once your mixture is at room temperature or a little cooler, add 1 cup of powdered sugar. Mix until combined.
-Let the puppy chow cool for about 15 minutes.
-Add more powdered sugar 1/4 cup at a time until your cereal is coated to your desired level.
-Store in an airtight container at room temperature (if it lasts more than a few seconds).
There you have it! Puppy Chow Miss Marijuana style. This infused snack will last for about 1 week stored at room temperature or throw it in the freezer to keep it fresh for up to 2 months! Happy snacking from our kitchen to yours.
