![]() I normally use a couple baking sheets lined with parchment which I then transfer to the freezer because FROZEN PUPPY CHOW IS LIFE CHANGING. Chill Timeįinally, transfer it to some kind of surface where it can “dry” aka set into little bites of crispy delicious chocolate peanut butter heaven. I mean, is it really puppy chow without the paper bag?īut in reality, any big bag (ziplock, paper bag, even a big mixing bowl that you can toss very gently so as not to break the cereal) will get the job done. ![]() Midwestern kids of the 90s (hello) will agree with me that mixing the chocolate coated cereal in a paper grocery bag is the authentic and proper technique. Once the cereal is coated, toss it with powdered sugar so each piece is coated and dry enough to touch. ![]() Mix Chocolate with CerealĪBSOLUTELY NO PIECE LEFT BEHIND. Melted chocolate goes in with the cereal. How To Make Puppy Chow Make a Chocolate Mixtureįirst: melt chocolate, peanut butter, and butter in a big bowl. I’m calling this “Extra Good” – it only differs from the recipes on the back of the Chex boxes by having a lot more of that chocolate-peanut-butter coating, therefore making it extra thick, extra clustery, extra delish. It is one of the great Midwestern food contributions of the 80s and 90s (my roots!) and because of my strong opinions on freezing it, I’m making my case today that it’s the perfect sweet snack / fun thing that you should be making to bring joy into your life for these last few weeks of summer. It’s meant to be eaten by the handful, like a dessert-y version of Chex Mix. What Is Puppy Chowįor those who are young or non-Midwesterners, Puppy Chow, also known as Muddy Buddies, is a snack (dessert? prized possession? Wiki calls it a “homemade candy” – lol) that is made by coating crispy cereal like Rice Chex in melted chocolate peanut butter mixture and tossing it with powdered sugar. It makes for supremely satisfying grazing. It gives just a little more excitement with the texture, the shape, the temperature. This stays true to the basics but just dials up everything good: the chocolate, the peanut butter, the butter. That jumbo cluster you’re looking at in that picture is just a grown up’s version of the original. And if you make it very cold, it’s… well, it’s a thick and crispy little bite that is just super delicious. It was served room temperature and you ate it one piece at a time.īut do you know what’s even more fun? If you go for MORE chocolate and MORE peanut butter and MORE butter, you’re going to get MORE sticking-together, and that’s going to create magical little clusters. The puppy chow I grew up with was more like individual pieces of cereal that were completely coated with powdered sugar. ![]() Corn Fiber is not a Grain, it is a Prebiotic Fiber.Let me present to you how I think puppy chow should always look: Catalina Crunch is Grain-Free because Corn Fiber is NOT the same thing as Corn! Corn is a Grain. Some customers have also been curious about the ingredient Non-GMO Corn Fiber. Since insoluble fiber is not digestible, potato fiber is thus Keto-Friendly and Low Carb. Potato Fiber is made by grinding up a whole potato into potato flour and removing the starch (carbs) and protein, leaving mostly insoluble fiber. They think: “since potato is high in carbs (starch), potato fiber must be high in carbs too”. This is not true! We get quite a few folks who see the ingredient Potato Fiber and think “Potato Fiber = Potato”. Ingredient List: Catalina Flour (Pea Protein, Potato Fiber, Non-GMO Corn Fiber, Chicory Root Fiber, Guar Gum), Tapioca Flour, Organic High Oleic Sunflower Oil, Cocoa Powder (Chocolate flavors only), Baking Powder, Natural Flavors, Sea Salt, Calcium Carbonate, Stevia Extract, Monk Fruit (Cinnamon Toast flavor only)
