Puppy Chow (Mud Buddies)

This weekend, I had some mean cravings for puppy chow, which is also known as mud buddies, depending on which part of The States you find yourself. Most American kids grow up with this, having it at home, friend's houses or bake sales. I only discovered this when I was about 12-13, as did my cousin and brother. Probably because we had foreign parents that were health conscious. I love this recipe because its so easy, quick and makes HEAPS - great for a party! The first question I got from people was, "What is it?" But once people tried it, they thought it was really good! 

Ingredients 

1 cup milk chocolate 

1/2 cup peanut butter

1 box of chex cereal, known in this country as Crispix (260 g)

1 1/2 cup icing sugar

Directions 

Melt milk chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Personally, I like the double boiler because it allows for more control. 

Add peanut butter. 

Add the whole box of cereal into a large bowl and pour chocolate/peanut butter mixture over it. Mix until all the cereal is coated. 

Let the cereal cool for a bit and then move to a 2 layer plastic bag (in case there is any leakage). Add icing sugar and shake until all cereal is coated. The cereal should be slightly cooled so it doesn't pick up too much icing sugar. 

The other option with this recipe is to mix everything in a large container with a lid. You can add the icing sugar to that, cover it and shake.
