Puppy Chow Cookies Are A Spin On The Classic Snack Mix!

I came up with the idea for these cookies last week…it was a moment of pure genius, I tell you.

I mean, everyone loves the snackity snack, Puppy Chow.  Or Muddy Buddies..or whatever the heck you call it in your world.

Anyhow, Puppy Chow is a total 80’s snack mix… it’s Chex cereal coated in peanut butter and chocolate and dusted with powdered sugar. And I thought that totally sounded like an amazing cookie idea! What we have here is a peanut butter cookie coated in chocolate and powdered sugar, just like the mix!

All you have to do is make a simple peanut butter cookie.

Flatten the dough out before baking them…

Then melt some peanut butter, chocolate chips and butter together.

And make a little assembly station.

Chocolate, powdered sugar and cookies.

The chocolate might seem a little thick, so just be careful during the dipping, and tap, tap, tap. If it thickens too much, reheat the chocolate as necessary.

Or you can add in a tablespoon of butter or coconut oil and melt it in to thin it out.

Then plop it into the powdered sugar to coat…Puppy Chow CookiesSee?

I tried shaking them in the powdered sugar in a bag, but it didn’t work so well. Let them set up before you eat them!

These will be so perfect for holiday cookie trays!

    1. very strange. You could easily add a few teaspoons of milk the dough to help it. Could be an issue with your flour!

  1. I made 12 dozen last night but I am struggling with the dipping in chocolate! How was your chocolate so creamy? And if I touch the cookie it leaves a finger spot! Please help. I still have 11 dozen to dip!

    So, one of my neighbor friends just sent this link to me and insisted that we make them, and I couldn’t agree more. BRILLIANT cookie idea, Shelley!!! 🙂

  3. Trying these right now and mine are falling apart! What did I do wrong??? Cookie drowning in chocolate help!

  4. I made this recipe for a baking day and I have received a ton of compliments on it.
    It making them, the chocolate covering process was really tedious and my chocolate mix didn’t seem to melt very thinly so I wasn’t getting very even coverage anyway. But I stopped about halfway through the batch and boy am I glad because I realized that this recipe also has the best peanut butter cookies I have EVER had. I love peanut butter but am always disappointed by how heavy and greasy peanut butter cookies are. This recipe was perfect, though. I literally had like 2 to share just because I could not keep my hands off of them!






  5. I got so excited that there was finally a recipe for cookies for my dog. Of course when I read that chocolate was in the ingredients that killed it. Glad I saw that. There should be a label that it’s for humans in case that some don’t know that chocolate can kill a dog.

  6. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Need I really say more!!?
    I just pinned these and I will be making them very soon!!
    You’re my HERO!!

  7. I baked these awesome cookies and they are delicious..Wow!
    That is the best dough I’ve ever worked with.
    Thank you for this recipe 🙂
