I love puppy chow... a lot. I was looking at the back of the Rice Chex box and found a recipe for Lemon Buddies. I like lemon enough, so I thought, what the heck? and I made them too. I'm very glad I did. Here are the recipes for both.
Puppy Chow (or Muddy Buddies)
Ingredients:
9 cups Corn Chex, Rice Chex, or Chocolate Chex (or a combination)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
In a large bowl, measure out cereal and set aside. In a 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter uncovered on High 1 minute; stir. Microwave about 30 seconds longer or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Stir in vanilla. Pour mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated. Pour into 2-gallon resealable food storage bag. Add powdered sugar to the bag. Seal bag; shake until well coated. Spread on waxed paper to cool. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.

Husband Rating:
Puppy Chow is always a huge hit at our house. It's never going to last long. I took a leap of faith with the Lemon Buddies. I honestly didn't know how the hubby would react to the change. He actually really liked them! I was kind of surprised. The lemon buddies were just right. They weren't too lemony and they weren't too sweet. I'm planning on making them to take to school one of these days. I think the staff will like them.
