Easter Muddy Buddies
These Easter Muddy Buddies are perfect for an Easter snack or Easter dessert – this recipe will quickly become one of your favourite puppy chow recipes!
Muddy Buddies (or Puppy Chow) are one of my favourite little treats. There is just something about the satisfying crunch paired with the chocolate and peanut butter. These Easter Muddy Buddies take the classic a bit further with pretty pastel colours and candy coated milk chocolate eggs throughout. Absolutely delicious for a snack or dessert and perfectly seasonal.

I’m definitely making some this Easter. Just need to find those candy melts….
I get them at the bulk barn but they call them something else…
How pretty is this! Would make a great treat for Easter, might just have to make up a batch!
wow i am gonna make this for my Grandson at Easter , he would love it , looks so cool thanks for sharing the recipe i look forward to making it 🙂
These look amazing and they are making me so hungry!
I certainly like the look of that bowl full 🙂 I’d have to leave out the peanut butter though as I don’t like it, I’ll have to think a while before I come up with a replacement.
I am MAKING this!! In fact, I’m picking up ingredients this weekend to make this with the kids. Looks really yummy…perfect for a movie snack.
I am going to make this and i bet the bowls would be empty real fast
I don’t think that I will be able to stop munching on this if I made it!
that’s so cute and easy for everyone to make
Such a good idea!!!
Do you think I could use white almond bark instead of white chocolate chips?
Yes, definitely!
I love this recipe! It is great for Easter or even a Birthday Party! Thanks 🙂
We made this after lunch today !
This sounds so good and something my family would probably love.
This sounds like a delicious treat!
After reading all the reviews, noticed only one person made this so I decided to try it. So glad I did!! It’s easy and very pretty when put together. Adding it to my grandkids Easter basket!!
Thank you for the recipe.
(added dry roasted peanuts to the peanut butter mixture only because I had them and decided to do it. But great recipe as it is written!!)
Thank you again!
