Homemade Non Dairy Muddy Buddies
If you’ve ever wished you could enjoy Muddy Buddies, also known as Puppy Chow, but avoid it because you can’t eat regular chocolate, you’ve come to the right place.
Get ready for a homemade crunchy, chocolatey, peanut buttery treat that’s impossible to resist. Muddy Buddies are the perfect no-bake snack for parties, potlucks, movie nights, or anytime you’re craving something sweet and satisfying. With just a few simple ingredients and a quick toss in powdered sugar, this classic treat comes together in minutes and disappears even faster!
It’s also the perfect kid-friendly recipe kids can easily make themselves, with a little parent-supervision while using the stove.
The secret to these Muddy Buddies is adding a little bit of non-dairy butter to non-dairy chocolate chips to help the chips melt into a smooth texture that can cover the Chex Mix evenly.
