Cake Batter Puppy Chow Snack Mix
Sometimes you need a quick snack recipe…….and today’s your lucky day………I’ve got you covered! Do you have 10 minutes? Then I have a super easy snack mix that kids and adults will devour!
Growing up, we made my mom’s puppy chow recipe for every party or family gathering. The cereal coated with melted chocolate, peanut butter, and powdered sugar was a snack mix that hardly anyone could resist. And the reason behind the funny name is apparent to anyone who had ever fed their dog the white powdered Purina Puppy Chow.
Despite the name, this puppy chow recipe is NOT for dogs somewhere along the line, it’s also become known as Muddy Buddies. Regardless of what you call it, everyone will call it addictingly delicious!

Make Puppy Chow Mix Taste Like Cake Batter
A good mom lets you lick the beaters……a GREAT mom turns them off first!
That little quote always makes me laugh. I remember the fun times in the kitchen when I was growing up and my mom would hand me the beaters. Cake batter was always one of my favorites, and still is! Only now, I have to fight my own children for the beaters!
Since I’m a little obsessed with the flavor of cake batter I decided to whip up a batch of Cake Batter Puppy Chow and use pastel-colored candy melts to give it a Spring/Easter feel, but you can certainly make it just using white bark or candy melts. The cake batter flavor comes from shaking the chocolate-coated candy in dry cake mix as well as powdered sugar!
Possibly my favorite snack mix ever. I would love to hear if you’ve made a fun flavor of Puppy Chow Snack Mix!

Cake Batter Puppy Chow Snack Mix is a doggone good crispy chocolate-covered snack mix with the flavor of cake batter built in! ** To make multi-color puppy chow: I used 3 colors (pink, purple and blue) of white chocolate melting chips. Melt 3.5 ounces of each color, adding a little less than a teaspoon of shortening to each. Divide the 5 cups of cereal into 3 bowls. Pour one color of candy melts over one bowl of cereal, add sprinkles, then toss all three colors of candy-coated cereal into powdered sugar cake mix to coat.
