Do you love peanut butter? So many people do! Every Tuesday on my facebook page this fall, I have hosted a “theme” day. I leave it up to my readers, via social media, to pick the “guest of honor.” This week it was Peanut Butter. It’s funny, the days I have these theme parties, I usually crave that item. Today is no different. That is where the idea of this Peanut Butter Puppy chow was born!
Some of the batch I added candy corn, like you see above. Something about that candy corn and the peanut…mmmm, it’s just so perfect. (think Pay Day bar)
Some of it I used just the Peanut Butter M & M’s like you see here below.
Anyway you make it, if you like peanut butter… or more like peanut butter cookies, you are going to swoon!
I ended up doing BOTH options for the stuff I made for my kids. Between the cereal, the peanut butter, the candy corn and M & Ms there are dry roasted salted peanuts covered, too!
It’s AHmazing.
I highly recommend you mix up a batch the first chance you get and make the Peanut Butter Lover in your life a nice treat!
Yes, it’s okay if that person is YOU!

I adore making all different kinds of Puppy Chow/Muddy Buddies … I have also made Double Chocolate Peppermint, Pumpkin Spice and Cake Batter! Take a peek at those recipes. It all makes great gifts at the holidays or anytime. Pack it into a cute jar or an airtight bag to keep it fresh, add a ribbon and ta-da! Gift is done and done.
