The classic puppy chow (aka muddy buddies) recipe we all know and love made just a little better for you. Try our lightened up recipe when you need a little sweet treat!
9 cups Rice Chex cereal
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup zero calorie powdered sugar alternative (like Swerve or Lakanto)
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (I use this)
In a large bowl, microwave chocolate chips and peanut butter on high for 1 minute. Stir and put back in the microwave for another 30 seconds until mixture can be stirred smooth. Add cereal to the bowl and gently stir until evenly coated.
Add powdered sugar and protein powder to a gallon resealable food storage bag. Spoon in the cereal and seal bag tightly. Shake until all the powder is evenly coating the cereal. Allow chocolate to fully cool before serving. Store in an airtight container.
