Why Our Muddy Buddies are Better

Listen, I have some issues with other recipes for puppy chow- too little clumping of peanut butter globs, too much or too little powdered sugar. Ugh, I want to indulge. I want to FEEL the heaviness of peanut butter goodness as clusters stuck together!

The Many Names of Puppy Chow

My mom and sister and I are in a group text and tonight’s text thread was about “muddy Buddies” vs “Puppy Chow”. I don’t know if it was a Pacific Northwest thing or an Idaho thing (that’s where my mom is from), but we call this treat “Puppy Chow.” Always have, always will. But the truth is, it has other names, like muddy buddies, monkey munch, dog food, Chex mix, but no matter what you call it, it’s delicious.

Our daughter and her friends make this recipe almost monthly making it a favorite in our household, (except for our famous GOOEY Peanut Butter M&M Cookies). I CANNOT stop eating either one!

Double Peanut Butter Muddy Buddies Recipe Ingredients

• Creamy Peanut Butter: The star flavor! It coats the cereal, giving it that rich, nutty taste and helps the other ingredients stick together. Peanut butter also adds smoothness and makes the mix more satisfying.
• Butter: Adds richness, a little extra flavor, and helps thin the peanut butter so it coats the cereal more evenly without clumping.
• Peanut Butter Chips: Boost that peanut butter flavor even more and give the muddy buddies a creamy, candy-like coating when melted with the peanut butter.
• Rice Chex Cereal: The crunchy base that holds everything together. Its light, crisp texture makes the perfect vessel for soaking up the peanut butter coating without gettin

This luscious Chocolate Sea Salt Ice Cream is the kind of indulgence you whisper about at the end of a long day. I don’t know what it is about sea salt ice cream that has me hooked, but I’m in deep now, and there’s no going back!

Chocolate Sea Salt Ice Cream

Travel seems to inspire so many of my recipes. And this one was no different. My sisters and I visited Santa Fe, New Mexico recently, and while we were there we found a shop that served a chocolate sea salt ice cream just like this one. It was love at first bite, for me.

My older sister wasn’t a fan of the sea salt ice creams, but I would have happily increased the salt even more. I just knew that I had to recreate those ice creams when I got home. I’m happy to report that I’ve nailed them both now.

As it turns out, I like salted ice cream so much that I’ve started sprinkling salt over pretty much every scoop of ice cream I serve lately. If you think that sea salt and chocolate is a strange combination, then I can’t wait to introduce you!

Sea salt chocolate captures one of my absolute favorite combinations, salty and sweet. I always sprinkle Maldon sea salt flakes over desserts like these chocolate chip pudding cookies. It takes them from really good to downright glorious.

The most popular question I get is whether it’s possible to make ice cream without a machine. The answer is YES. You can make ice cream without a machine. Find the full directions here!

For all our chocoholics, these double chocolate chip cookies are about to become your new obsession. With double the chocolate and double the deliciousness, they are chewy, rich, and completely irresistible.

I struggled to find the perfect name for them whether it should be chocolate chip chocolate, chocolate chocolate chip, or simply double chocolate chip but one thing is certain this cookie recipe is absolutely divine.

I’m actually more of a fruit dessert kind of gal, and Cade is a chocolate lover, but when I make these cookies, it’s me who can’t stop eating them. I may have even grabbed a couple and eaten them alone in the pantry so I didn’t have to share with my kids. Shhhhhh…yes, I am one of those moms!

Ingredients You’ll Need

These double chocolate chip cookies are the best cookies for chocolate cravings. It starts like classic chocolate chip cookies and then we add all the chocolate! They could actually be called triple chocolate chip cookies because we have chocolate coming from three different directions. Yummmmm!

• Unsalted Butter: Adds richness and helps create a soft, tender texture.
• Eggs: Bind the dough and provide structure and moisture.
• Sugar: Sweetens the cookies and helps them spread slightly.
• Brown Sugar: Adds moisture, deeper flavor, and a chewier texture.
• Vanilla Extract: Enhances and rounds out the chocolate flavor.
• All-Purpose Flour: Gives the cookies structure and helps them hold their shape.
• Salt: Balances the sweetness and boosts overall flavor.
• Baking Soda: Helps the cookies rise and stay soft.
• Devil’s Food Pudding: Makes the cookies super soft, rich, and extra chocolatey.
• Cocoa Powder: Deepens the chocolate flavor and darkens the dough.
• Chocolate Chips: Add pops of melty chocolate throughout the cookies. (Use whatever kind you like! Milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, or even white chocolate chips work great!)

What Kind of Cocoa Powder is Best?

For the richest flavor and deepest color, use a high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder. Natural cocoa powder works great in these cookies because it delivers a bold chocolate taste and reacts well with the leavening for a soft, tender texture.

If you want an even more intense, almost fudgy chocolate flavor, you can use Dutch process cocoa powder, but it may make the cookies slightly denser. Both options work, so choose based on the flavor you prefer and what you already have in your pantry.

We love using TruMoo Chocolate Marshmallow Milk for this recipe—it adds that rich, authentic cocoa flavor without needing to melt chocolate or make a mix.

I don’t know what it is about the holidays and dips, but they go together as much as Rudolph and Santa, or candy canes and Christmas trees!

I don’t know about you, but I kind of miss the old days where holiday parties were filled with friends bringing their “famous” dish to every holiday party. That tradition, the investment in offering a little of their time and love to a gathering of friends and family seems a little lost with the convenience of the world.

But I’m bringing it back.

Whether it’s our famous Baked Brie or Peggy’s Creamy Baked Artichoke Dip, there’s room for everyone and every taste bud at my house. In fact, come on, I can’t be the only one that misses the nostalgia of family favorite recipes showing up around the holidays.
