    The only thing better than puppy chow - or muddy buddies, if you prefer to call them that - is MORE puppy chow.

    And more chocolate...and maybe some mint too! You are going to love this super delicious Double Chocolate Mint Puppy Chow recipe!

    Yum, right? Double chocolate, double your fun...

    And cake mix always throws a really fun flavor profile into your puppy chow recipe, like with this Cake Batter Puppy Chow recipe I shared with you guys last year!

    According to General Mills, Muddy Buddies (a.k.a. Puppy Chow) was developed in 2002.

    The real story though, is that people have been making this recipe for DECADES! I remember eating it in the 80s as a kid!
