Puppy Chow Cookies

Puppy Chow Cookies, Muddy Buddy Cookies, Chocolate Peanut Butter Delicious Cookies – whatever you call these, you are going to LOVE them! If you are a fan of puppy chow (chex mix coated in chocolate, peanut butter, and powdered sugar), this is the cookie for you.
You start with a peanut butter cookie, which is soft and chewy and delicious all on its own (as Zeke and I can attest to – we ate a few haha). Then you dip the cookies in a combination of melted chocolate and peanut butter, then coat them in powdered sugar.
Is your mouth watering yet? They are amazing! I had to freeze these cookies immediately to keep from eating way too many of them. Unfortunately (fortunately?) they also taste great straight out of the freezer. 🙂
If you are a chocolate and peanut butter fan, these cookies are for you. They are the ultimate combination of the two flavors, and they are perfect for your Christmas cookie trays!
These cookies really do taste like puppy chow in cookie form. You will love them – happy baking! 🙂

I made these…and they did nit turn out. I think it’s a misprint to add one tablespoon of vanilla, so I did 1 tsp. The cookies broke easily, but they did taste fine. Them the chocolate dip was way too stiff. I had to add a few tbls of milk to get it spreadable. So once I dipped the cookies, they fell apart easily. I follwed evey instruction carefully. I ended up just crumbling all the cookies that broke, rolled them in powdered sugar and calle it Reindeer Poop. It tasted fine but I only had about 10 good cookies.Â
Love them! thanks so much!

I made these and they were delicious! Â I did have trouble dipping the cookies in the chocolate. Â The chocolate was too thick, so I frosted the cookies Instead. Â Do you have any suggestions on how I can thin out the chocolate . Â Â
Thanks! Â
You can thin out the chocolate with a tiny bit of shortening or a little extra butter – hope that helps! Glad you liked the cookies 🙂
Is it best to chill the dough before baking?Â
