Small Batch Muddy Buddies Recipe

This recipe for small batch Muddy Buddies (or puppy chow!) is deliciously fun and insanely addicting, so it might be a good idea to make just enough for a few servings rather than a whole batch! This popular recipe uses Rice Chex cereal that is coated in creamy peanut butter, melted chocolate, and a layer of powder sugar for a perfect crunchy treat.
