WOW! Valentine’s Day is less than a month away. I love adorable Valentine’s day treats like these Strawberry Heart Fruit Kabobs, or these Valentine’s Day Popcorn Balls. Today I am going to be sharing this super simple and delicious Valentine Puppy Chow I made.

Have you ever made puppy chow before? Some people call it muddy buddies. There are all types of muddy buddies, from traditional to chocolate mint. What is your favorite kind of muddy buddies?

Valentine Puppy Chow

 

What You Need for This Recipe:

Rice Cereal

Milk Chocolate Chips

White Chocolate Chips

Pink Velvet Cake Mix (or strawberry)

Powdered Sugar

Pink and Red M&Ms

Valentine Puppy Chow

I packed it up in these little Valentine’s Day themed bags so that we could each snack on this during our family movie night. They would also be cute to hand out for Valentine’s Day. These muddy buddies would look super cute in these Valentine bags. You could also add in heart shaped sprinkles for a little extra Valentine’s Day flair.

Valentine Puppy Chow

Author By Sarah Halstead

Ingredients

  • 6 cups rice cereal mix divided
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate melted
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate melted
  • 1 cup pink velvet cake mix
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • pink and red m&m's

Instructions

  1. Place 3 cups of cereal in each bowl.
  2. Add your pink velvet cake mix to one ziploc bag, then put the powdered sugar in a separate bag.
  3. Pour melted milk chocolate over the cereal in one bowl and mix well.
  4. Put this cereal in the pink velvet cake mix bag.
  5. Shake well.
  6. Pour the white chocolate over the other cereal and mix well.
  7. Put this cereal in the powdered sugar bag.
  8. Shake well.
  9. Pour them both out onto a cookie sheet to let dry and harden.
  10. Place in a big bowl and add the m&m's.
  11. Mix together well and serve.

Valentine Puppy Chow

Update: I changed it from red velvet cake mix to pink velvet cake mix. It makes for a prettier red/pink color. If you can’t find pink velvet, mix the red velvet and powdered sugar together in one bag. Then have another bag with just powdered sugar in it. Next, put the white chocolate cereal in the bag with just the powdered sugar, and the milk chocolate cereal in the bag with the red velvet/powdered sugar mixture. Then just continue with the rest of the instructions. Or you could sub out for Strawberry cake mix for a fun flavor change. Let me know if you have any questions or if you try this out.

Do you call it puppy chow or muddy buddies?

    hello - this is so cute and tastes great! But my red velvet cake mix is definitely not this nice pink color. What kind did you use? Mine looks brown.
    • Sarah Halstead says

      February 10, 2015 at 6:19 pm

      I used Duncan Hines I think. The pink is from the red coming off on the white powder. Did you do the powdered sugar and the red velvet separate and then put them in a bowl together?
      • Lindsay says

        February 10, 2015 at 6:50 pm

        Yep I followed the directions. My red velvet mix is just not really a nice red color.
        • Sarah Halstead says

          February 10, 2015 at 6:53 pm

          Oh sorry. Which mix did you use? Was it red before adding it to the cereal. Mine was bright red.

    While these snacks look delicious, I question calling them "Puppy Chow." Sadly, there are plenty of people out there who will think these are OK for dogs!! They are NOT!!! Chocolate can kill a dog. This label is very irresponsible, and could lead to possible lawsuits.
    • Heather M says

      January 23, 2015 at 5:28 pm

      Have you missed the fact that there is a food called "puppy chow" for years now?
