Description
These Puppy Chow Truffles take everything you love about the classic snack (a.k.a. muddy buddies) — chocolate, peanut butter, and powdered sugar — and transform it into a decadent no-bake treat. With a creamy, crunchy center and a powdered sugar finish, they’re dangerously poppable and perfect for holidays, parties, or just a nostalgic snack attack.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3 cups Rice Chex cereal, lightly crushed
1 ½ cups powdered sugar (divided)
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
Optional: melted white chocolate for drizzle
Instructions
Melt & Mix
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and peanut butter in 30-second bursts, stirring in between until smooth. Stir in vanilla and salt.
Crunch Time
Gently fold in the crushed Chex cereal until evenly coated. Let the mixture cool slightly until firm enough to handle (chill if needed).
Roll the Truffles
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll into balls. Place on a lined baking sheet.
Coat in Sugar
Roll each truffle in powdered sugar until fully coated. For extra snowy effect, roll twice. Chill until firm (about 30 minutes).
Optional Drizzle
Drizzle with melted white chocolate for a finishing touch, then refrigerate until set.
