Once the holiday frenzy hits — either right at the start of November, or later, for the more stubborn people out there — it’s time to start decking the halls. This includes buying a ridiculous amount of candy canes, even though you know you’ll never actually eat them. Thankfully, this puppy chow recipe will change your candy cane game.
In case you didn’t know, puppy chow is for humans, not for dogs. I’m not sure why anyone would think that it would be remotely safe (or logical) to feed cereal covered in chocolate and sugar to a dog, but, apparently, there has been some confusion about the name. Hence, Chex coined the name “Muddy Buddies.” But I stand firmly with Team Puppy Chow (there’s even a Facebook page dedicated to it).
Regardless of the name debate, pretty much everyone on the planet agrees that puppy chow is the most addictive snack ever, and there are so many possible flavor combinations. This peppermint crunch variation is not only a great way to use up that copious supply of candy canes, but it’s also perfect for holiday parties and gift bags. So go ahead and chow down.
