Muddy Buddies, Puppy or Bunny Chow?
This tasty little snack mix goes by many names. Perhaps you know it as Puppy Chow or Muddy Buddies – whatever you call it, it’s delicious and hard to resist! Really hard! With Easter around the corner, it’s easy to turn your Muddy Buddies recipe into Bunny Chow!
The kids and I used white chocolate instead of milk chocolate and added some seasonal candy coated chocolate eggs and the combo is soooo good!

I originally thought of using seasonal M&Ms in the mix, but somehow Target was out {not sure how that’s even possible this time of year}, but they did have some larger Easter Milk Chocolate Eggs

Bunny Chow Recipe
The kids have been enjoying the Bunny Chow as a little treat in their lunches. I think some of their classmates are jealous! Truly it’s good any time of the day.
Bunny Chow or Muddy Buddies are always a hit at get togethers – the bowl will empty before you know it. So grab the 6 simple ingredients {you probably have most of them on hand right now} and whip up a batch today!
As you can see here, I could hardly get a picture without little hands trying to be sneaky and grab just a nibble 🙂
Although I didn’t grow up eating Chex cereal, we were more of a Cheerio kind of family, I always loved Muddy Buddies when we went to other people’s homes. Now I can share the tradition with my kids. Yum.

It’s almost too pretty to eat! 🙂
This looks delish. I love muddy buddies, but have never made them with white chocolate. Sound heavenly. Thanks for sharing 🙂
They are heavenly! Thanks for stopping by and getting the recipe, Charlene.
This little Bunny Chow Basket is just a cute idea! I love fun snacks like this!
Me too, easy and fun snacks made for a happy house!
Hi Erin, I’ve never seen a recipe like this before, but it certainly something I would nibble on. Peanut butter and chocolate work well together and although I have no idea what Chex cereal is, I’m sure Golden Grahams would work well too.

Chex cereal is popular, but I don’t eat it for much other than this munch 🙂 I think Golden Grahams would work well, too!
Erin, this is right up my alley! Chex cereals are gluten free, except for the wheat flavor. You can do so much with chex, alot of people who don’t eat gluten use these in crusts or breading. I love chex. And I’ve pinned this to come back to while I’m in the grocery store, this is a must make! I can carry it with me on the go too, always looking for snacks to throw in my purse!
This is such a fun snack mix for Easter! I wish I had some to munch on right now.
I’ve never heard of this, but it looks and sounds lovely! And it’s so pretty! #WAYWOW
Erin,
I know I said this before, but I need you here to make all this stuff for me!!! I love your creativity and style!
Blessings and smiles,
Lori

This looks perfect for an Easter treat 🙂 Thanks for sharing at the Wednesday Showcase!
Thanks for coming by, Kati! Great party!
What a lovely Easter treat – thanks for the recipe. The Easter bunny may get some too!
It’s so easy to make! That’s a great idea…leave some for the Easter bunny 🙂 Maybe I use that idea! Enjoy.
Okay so I just made this as a treat to go in my son’s Easter basket and it is AH-MAY-ZINGGG…. Like seriously can’t stop munching on this stuff!! My pregnancy hormones are definitely screaming this is their new favorite craving!! I may be in trouble with this one lol!!! ?❤️?
Oh, yay!! So glad you like it. Those pregnancy hormones can be a challenge, but this bunny chow will get your through 🙂 Enjoy!
