Puppy chow, also known as muddy buddies is a crowd pleaser among kids. The traditional puppy chow is made of Chex cereal, milk chocolate, peanut butter and powder sugar.
Recently I was trying to think of a fall treat I could bring to my Bible study that is easy to snack on while talking. I came out with this Pumpkin Spice Puppy Chow! Instead of doing the classic muddy buddies I can put a spin on the recipe.
It is so easy to make and requires only a handful of ingredients! There is no baking or chilling involved either!
Cinnamon Chex Cereal
I recommend using the Cinnamon Chex cereal. It really enhances the spices in the puppy chow. You can also use any plain rice cereal squares.
Chocolate
This recipe uses white candy melts. Candy melts are a sugary melting coating. You can find these in craft stores like Hobby Lobby, Walmart, or online. You can also use pure white chocolate.
You can use red or orange candy melts to add more color to the chow and bring in the fall leaf colors.
Spices
All you need is cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice!
Candy Corn
Most snack mix has a variety of treats in it. Whether it be nuts, pretzels or M&Ms. For my Pumpkin Spice Puppy Chow I decided to add candy corn. You can also use sprinkles, mellow crème pumpkins, fall flavored Hershey Kisses or M&Ms.

I hope you enjoy this puppy chow as much as I do!
