I can’t believe Valentine’s Day is less than a month away! I am so excited to share this super simple Valentine Puppy Chow I made. Have you ever made puppy chow before? Some people call it muddy buddies. I have eaten this so many times but hadn’t ever made it. Not only is this super easy and adorable, but it is delicious!

Valentine Puppy Chow

I packed it up in these little bags so that we could each snack on this during our family movie night. They would also be cute to give out for Valentine’s Day. It would look super cute in these Valentine bags.

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. Let me know if you have any questions.

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?

We saw a third eye doctor. We are going to try glasses for two months and also try to prevent her from closing or covering her left eye. Along with having her focus on something brought to her nose throughout the day. Then recheck. She did mention alternate patching. Even though they see it in both eyes it is more prominent in her left eye. If neither one is helping then we will do surgery.

20|365 Annelyn did amazing at the allergist today. 20|365 Annelyn did amazing at the allergist today. I felt so bad when they were poking her back. I shared a photo in my stories of her back. They tested for dairy, eggs, green beans and pork. She previously had a reaction to green beans and bacon so they wanted to check that. The dairy and egg still had a reaction, but the doctor feels it is small enough that we can start trying eggs and dairy in small portions. Her egg reaction is a little less than dairy so we are going to try that first. 

I let her pick out a toy and she picked this baby yoda.

14|365 Sweet girl. Little update we are going for 14|365 Sweet girl. Little update we are going for a 3rd opinion next week at an office that offers vision therapy. I am going to see if they think therapy and/or glasses would help. I’m hoping that it will be an option since she is able to control it when we get her to focus. We will see. 

Thanks for all the advice and sharing your experiences. I know every child and diagnosis is different but it is nice to hear what others have done.
