Snickerdoodle Puppy Chow Recipe

I love snack mixes for the kids, and puppy chows or muddy buddies are no different. I was 8 when I made my first batch of puppy chow and loved telling people I was feeding them food made for puppies. My Snickerdoodle Puppy Chow Recipe is so much fun to make!

If you’ve never made a puppy chow recipe before, you’ve been missing out on this sweet and crunchy treat. It consists of a base of Chex cereal with powdered sugar, candy melts or chocolate, along with other flavorings. Since we love Snickerdoodle flavors, this was a great spin on a classic!

Kids will love helping you make this puppy chow recipe. One of the best parts of the recipe is shaking up the bag of cereal to coat it with the sugar. While I don’t let the kids deal with the hot candy melts, I do let them join in to shake the bags of cereal to coat with the cinnamon and sugar blend.

This makes a large batch of Snickerdoodle flavored Puppy Chow Recipe. It is ideal to keep stored in an airtight container, but I love portioning this into snack baggies. If I don’t portion ahead of time, I will easily sit and eat way too much of it at once! Yes, it is that good!

My kids love our Snow Day Snack Mix and Rainbow Flavored Popcorn Party Mix, but this Puppy Chow Recipe is definitely their favorite to make with me. It’s so much fun to shake those bags, and of course, they love the cinnamon sugar flavor. Make large batches of this to share with friends, or just tuck it into your desk for a sweet afternoon snack!
