Werewolf Kibble is one of those fun Halloween treats that makes people smile the second they see it. It’s sweet, crunchy, chocolatey, and packed with all kinds of spooky little mix-ins that make it perfect for October snacking.
If you’ve ever had puppy chow or muddy buddies, this is a fun Halloween twist on that kind of treat mix. Cocoa Puffs get coated in a chocolate peanut butter mixture, tossed in powdered sugar, and then mixed with peanut butter chips, pretzel sticks, almond slices, and red M&M’S candies for a spooky snack that looks just like werewolf kibble.
This is such a cute treat for Halloween parties, movie nights, classroom snacks, or packing into little treat bags for friends and neighbors. It comes together quickly and makes a great make-ahead snack for busy October days.
Werewolf Kibble!

I’m so glad that we have such awesome neighbors at the apartments, I’m also super happy that we have awesome neighbors that don’t mind when I drop off treats at their door! haha
I mean I don’t HAVE to drop treats off to my neighbors but sometimes when I make extra little things like this Werewolf Kibble, I’ll bag some of it up and hand little treat bags on their doors. It makes me happy and from their reactions I think it adds a little smile to their day too.
Halloween is in full swing around here this month so halloween themed kibble happened, kibble was bagged up for neighbors and kibble was LOVED by all!
If your’e wondering what kibble is, it’s just another version of puppy chow or muddy buddies.
