Grinch Chex Mix – Grinch Puppy Chow

You probably know what Chex Mix is, but you may be asking yourself, “What is Puppy Chow and Why Do I want to eat it?”

I’m so glad that you asked! And…..No, this isn’t for dogs.

What is Puppy Chow?

Puppy Chow is a sweet treat made with cereal, powdered sugar, and normally peanut butter and chocolate. It is like a Chex mix but sweet! It is also called Muddy Buddies.

This recipe is Grinch-themed and great for anyone who loves “How The Grinch Stole Christmas”.

Easy for kids to help with in the kitchen and fun to snack on during parties and movie night.
