Warnings
- Make sure you use chocolate that was not made in a place that also processes peanuts. Most people only think about actual ingredients in the item, but if it is manufactured on shared equipment, you could still endanger people with allergies. Most packages will mention whether the chocolate was manufactured in a facility that processes nuts and other allergens.Thanks

Article Summary

To make puppy chow without peanut butter, put 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of butter in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave them for 1 minute, stirring until there are no lumps. Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla and stir the mixture until it's combined. Then, pour 4.5 cups of Chex cereal into a large bowl, and pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal. Mix everything together with a spatula, and then pour the chocolate coated cereal and 3/4 cup of powdered sugar in a bag. Shake the bag until the powdered sugar sticks to the chocolate, and then pour the puppy chow into a bowl to serve! For tips on substituting Chex for a different type of cereal, scroll down!

"I had some shredded wheat left over from a family visit and thought I'd make a sweet treat. I don't like peanut butter, so looked up "muddy buddies no peanut butter" and found this article. I especially liked that it was a smaller version (not the usual "use 10 cups" version). Simple, clear, easy to follow. "
