A valentine’s day puppy chow chex mix with white chocolate and cinnamon plus red hots, conversation hearts and jelly belly beans.
Puppy chow(?) you might be thinking. . .like. . . for dogs(?). . .this puppy chow is for people. . .maybe you know it by a different name. . . does muddy buddies ring a bell?
This is one the fastest, most delicious snacks I know of! It’s great in a pinch and will please everyone – young and old alike.
All you need is 10 – 15 minutes of time. Chances are you have everything in your pantry to make them right this very minute.
Let. that. sink. in.
You could be munching to your little heart’s content on one of the world’s best treats just 15 minutes from now.
Peanut butter, white chocolate chips and butter are melted down and stirred together to make a creamy, sticky coating for chex cereal. To combat the stickiness the cereal gets tossed in powdered sugar and cinnamon then mixed with your favorite valentine’s candy.
I used red hots, conversation hearts and jelly belly conversation beans ’cause the bright and pretty colors make me happy.
Use whatever makes you happy.
These are great for packaging up in little bags tied with cute little red bows to hand out at school or the office.
Nothing says Happy Valentine’s Day better than homemade treats.
White chocolate and cinnamon Valentine's Day muddy buddies!
(Please don't feed this to your puppy! It's for people!)

I know this by either the puppy chow or muddy buddy name and whatever you call it, it’s down right yummy
I like the Valentines theme of this one.

The appearance is a little misleading, they look like puppy crunchies
But the ingredients leave no doubt about their goodies. They can be a funny greedy joke and I feel they are addictive!!! Bye dear, have a good day
