Chex Muddy Buddies Brownies

You already know how I feel about peanut butter and chocolate. It’s a match made in food heaven. These brownies that I came up with this past weekend are just another tribute to that magical combination.

Chex Muddy BuddiesWhen grocery shopping recently, I came across a bag of Chex Muddy Buddies. Now, I know you can make Muddy Buddies mix (otherwise known as Puppy Chow) easily from scratch but I had no idea that I could buy it prepackaged in the chip aisle. As soon as I saw this glorious concoction, I knew I had to bake with it. Add chocolate peanut butter crunch to something that is already fabulous.

Brownies! That is what needs a little crunch!

After debating a few combinations, I came up with this fantastic brownie concoction that also adds in some thick peanut butter frosting. You can use box mixes (yes, I cheated and used a box and pre-packaged Muddy Buddies mix) or make the brownies and muddy buddies mix from scratch but either way, it ends up being the most delicious, rich dessert ever.

  1. Hollie – when you say “When brownies are baked and completely cooked, frost with the peanut butter frosting.” do you mean completely cooled? OR do you frost them when they are still warm?
    Thanks!
