I made Muddy Buddy mix around the holidays last year…
Then, I proceeded to eat it all.
Okay, my family may have snuck one or two little Chex pieces when I wasn’t guarding it with my life.
The FDA hasn’t approved any claims on this treat, but I have heard it can cure Needchocolateitis when you have no treats in the house.
So here’s a one serving recipe of the amazing gluten free chocolate-y
Muddy Buddy Mix Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 Tb nut butter
- 1 Tb chocolate syrup or chocolate chips
- 1 cup Chex cereal
- 1 Tb. powdered sugar
Directions: Spray microwave safe bowl with non-stick
Add to bowl: 1 Tb. Nut Butter & 1 Tb. chocolate syrup or chocolate chips
Melt in the microwave for 15 – 45 seconds depending on your ‘wave.
Mix. Add 1 cup of Chex cereal. Mix gently to coat the cereal.
Sprinkle 1 Tb. powdered sugar on mix. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
Enjoy!

Now is this really health Monica? Oh well!

I put avocado on EVERYTHING! thanks for the freezing tip, since they go bad overnight in this heat!
Christina @ The Beautiful Balance says
I wonder if needchocolateitis is on WebMd 😉
Claire @ Health Nut Claire says
Delicious spin on muddy buddies: sub pb and chocolate for vanilla almond bark and sub powered sugar for yellow cake mix and sprinkles. Talk about addictive!!!
Elizabeth @ Positive Changes says
I call this puppy chow as well! And I love it because it is GF!!
Running Rosa says
I love Muddy Buddies! Like you, I can eat my weight in these things. I made them for my stepson’s birthday party and I may have been the one to eat the most. Thanks for the single serve version! You’ve saved me from gaining 10 pounds.
Susan says
So glad you posted the “recipe for one” because I was about to email you and ask for it. Do you have a Chex that you prefer? Rice? Corn? Although the fact that someone posted about Vanialla Chex and that sounds like it could be the winner!
Stephanie says
I LOVE muddy buddies / puppy chow. Portion control is key – I swear I ate a pound of this stuff in one sitting over the holidays.
Janny says
Um… I need to get some Chex, stat!
Angela @ Honey, I Shrunk the Mom says
Muddy Buddies made with Crispix is to die for! I have never thought to make an individual serving. Smart thinking!
Jackie (Foxy Whole Foodie) says
What a great idea! And so easy! We used to make muddy buddies all the time in college then end up getting drunk and eating the whole gigantic bowl. If only I had known about this recipe then…but of course drunk people have no patience for single serving sizes so I doubt it would have helped. But now it’s great to have around!
allie@sweetpotatobites says
I call it puppy chow too! And this looks awesome for a single serving. I’m thinking I need to get my hands on some vanilla chex to try it.
Megan says
That and white trash have to be the most amazing holiday foods everrrr

Check this out. Seems that someone else loves the watermelon as much as you do…well maybe not as much as you. http://realfoodfitness.com/watermelon-marvelous-melon-that-it-is/
Sarah says
For the love of God, do NOT make this with Chex MIX. That would be some nasty shiz…
To protect the innocent and unknowing puppy-chow-virgins, I beg you to correct your recipe at once!
runeatrepeat says
Oh no! I updated it. Thanks for the head’s up!
Sarah says
I thought it was super funny and totally something I would do!
Heather says
Holy cow, the recipe I always used called for a plastic garbage bag to mix a massive amount…so excited to try a single serving!!!
Shannon in Tustin says
This recipe could make countless women (with needchocolateitis) happy and free! Thank you for this important contribution to the universe. 😀 You should probably take the rest of the day off–rest on your laurels!
runeatrepeat says
Thanks! I can only hope this will be my legacy…
Kierston @candyfit says
I’ve never heard of these and never did I think it would be this easy to make!
Kailin @ Logs and Thoughts says
I do this all the time with Rice Krispies instead of Chex and butterscotch instead of chocolate. Melt the pb and bscotch together, stir in Rice Krispies, and you have a great cereal 🙂 Add dark chocolate chips in like you would raisins to any other cereal bowl, and you have the best dessert ever!
Jojo says
Darn, I have everything to make this except for Chex ):
Maybe I’ll invent a Cheerios version!
runeatrepeat says
Yep, I think it would work with a lot of cereals! Let me know.
TITLE Boxing Club Brighton says
Wow, sounds delicious!
Courtney @ Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life says
Yum yum yum yum yum 🙂
Joanna says
Brilliant!
Ashley @ OurPersonalRecords says
After you got me hooked on Vanilla Chex I’m convinced they are the only thing that could make muddy buddies any better.
runeatrepeat says
I am still full on obsessed with Vanilla Chex.
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
I freaking LOVE Muddy Buddies and I can’t control myself so this might be the best way to handle that. 😉
Corrie Anne says
This is like my husband’s dream come true!! haha
Emily K. @ Leaf Parade says
I’m not sure I would be able to wait for it to chill in the microwave!

I just started to diet a bit and started to run and I regret reading this post! LOL

runeatrepeat says
Luckily it’s only one serving so it doesn’t ruin your diet 🙂

Natasha Emily says
I love my buddies muddy.

I loveeeeee me some muddy buddies!
Leah | dine n dash runners says
This looks SOOO good! I will have to try it! I also tried your peanut butter protein cookies last week and they are fabulous!
Thanks so much for sharing all your tasty recipes with us! 🙂
runeatrepeat says
Thank you for trying them! Woowoo!
Amy H. says
Thanks for posting this! I’m the same way when it comes to that stuff, so a single serving would be JUST what I need 🙂
Jody - Fit at 55 says
That looks delish!
Lauren S. says
LOVE this. I need portion controlled recipes to satisfy my sweet tooth!
Becky @ Olives n Wine says
Portion control is key when it comes to muddy buddy mix! I’m not sure if I could wait the 30 minutes though 😉
runeatrepeat says
I totally eat it right away. Don’t tell anyone.
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun says
Ummmm this looks so delicious!! And the fact that is one serving makes it EVEN better! Thanks for sharing!
Angie Mae says
I may need to make this… like now. And bonus! i won’t eat the whole box now 🙂
Christine @ BookishlyB says
Portion control at it’s finest. I know someone who made a version with Golden Grahams- pretty damn good.
runeatrepeat says
Those would definitely be superior! Don’t even get me started on the idea of making it with CTC.
Christine @ BookishlyB says
The possibilities are endless… Thank God there are so many vitamins and minerals in cereal.
Hayley says
Looks delicious! I call this puppy chow 🙂
Julie @ RDelicious Kitchen says
me too 🙂
