What is Puppy Chow?
Puppy Chow (also known as monkey munch, muddy buddies, or reindeer munch) is a dessert snack that is believed to have originated in the Midwest.
It’s a really popular party dessert because it’s so delicious and simple to make. Chex now even makes a packaged version of it called Muddy Buddies in stores!

4 cups Chex cereal
