I’m not sure that this really even counts as a recipe you guys. It’s like embarrassingly easy, but this is a holiday week and I figured if I am this busy then you probably are too. We could all use some quick and easy recipe ideas this month, don’t you think?
These are about as close to instant gratification as it gets when it comes to homemade sweets. Even though it takes about an hour for them to be perfectly dry, they are completely edible right after you coat them. I know because I ate half the pan (haha, not really). Okay, but these things are so addictive.
They have many different names but which one is the real one……? I’ve always called them puppy chow but this time I thought they looked so frosty in their powdery white coating that I felt snow buddies was a better name. I guess that’s kind of inconsistent and confusing since I’ve made these and called them puppy chow before. Nobody cares. All you need to know is that these are delicious. One bite and it’s over.
If you don't have Chex mix you can also use Quaker oatmeal squares or a similar cereal. I think I like it better that way. Well, I guess that’s an unfair opinion as I’ve never actually made it with Chex mix, but I have had Chex mix and I can imagine the taste pretty well.
Even if you don’t need this recipe immediately, I’m sure that at some point during the holidays you will be happy to have this one for a quick fix. You may need to hide them from yourself because, like I said, majorly addictive! Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. You can find out more in my INTRO POST.
And, by the way, to all the minnows out there, my intro post did a huge $0.21. The key to success on Steemit is to be consistent and persistent.

I really hope you enjoy @sylviamiller, thanks!!!
Ingredients
9 cups Quaker oatmeal squares cereal or Chex cereal
1 cup, white chocolate
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teapoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
3-4 cups powdered sugar for coating
Instructions
Melt butter and chocolate in a medium sauce pan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in powdered sugar, vanilla and salt. Pour cereal into a large bowl and pour chocolate mixture over it. Use a large spatula to carefully mix and coat all of the cereal pieces.
For the powdered sugar coating you can either use ziplock freezer bags and shake with powdered sugar until coated or just pour it on top and toss until coated.
After cereal is coated with powdered sugar, spread it out on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper and allow it to dry for at least 1 hour.
Store in an airtight container at room temp.
This is quick and easy to do. I'll try this.
Thanks for the recipe.

HAPPY NEW YEAR & STEEM ON!!

Oh my gosh!! This was a staple of a good southern Christmas party. I have heard it called both puppy chow and muddy buddies, but no matter the name, it was always gone first. Thank you so much for reminding me of it. Now to introduce it to all my German friends here in Berlin - if only I can find the proper cereal haha
Sharing in Berlin, that sounds interesting. I read a rumor the other day about steemfest 3 in Berlin, that would be amazing!
HAPPY NEW YEAR & STEEM ON!!
