Puppy Chow (also known as Muddy Buddies) is a favorite in our house that I do not make nearly enough!  I decided to try my hand at making St. Patrick’s Day Puppy Chow because adding marshmallows to anything is a good idea 🙂  Especially since the Lucky Charms marshmallows are my daughter’s favorite part of the cereal.

I enlisted S’s help to make our St. Patrick’s Day themed Puppy Chow.  She was a great help and separated all the Lucky Charms marshmallows from the cereal.  I think her favorite part though was when she got to shake the bag of Puppy Chow!

    Well, this is brilliant! I’ve always loved Puppy Chow/Muddy Buddies, and adding the marshmallows from Lucky Charms makes the treat even more delicious! (I’m totally in agreement with your daughter — the marshmallows are the best part of Lucky Charms!)

    I normally bake a dish using Guinness for St. Patrick’s Day. I might have to change up my game and give these a try, though!

    I could eat the entire bowl full of those puppies! 🙂 Speaking of lucky charms, one of my grandkids picks all the marshmallows out and eats them and leaves the cereal part in the bowl. This is a great St. Patrick’s Day snack.

      I am pretty sure that’s what S does 🙂 She asks for a bowl of lucky charms and then says she’s full but the bowl is still full of the cereal! Thanks so much Alli!

      They would love this Ricci! I love Lucky Charms too – something about eating marshmallows for breakfast…. 🙂

    YUM! I love puppy chow, and adding Lucky Charms to it is BRILLIANT! We’re definitely trying this around our house for St. Patrick’s Day! 🙂

    I remember making the boring version of this in HS! Now I’m going to be obsessed with finding lucky charms to get my toddler addicted to this!

      Lucky Charms marshmallows are the perfect addition to puppy chow 🙂

    I have been ALL about lucky charms lately, and always love trying different puppy chow recipes so this recipe is perfect. I’ll definitely have to try this out before St. Patricks day! Thanks for sharing at DDT.

      I hope you enjoy the recipe Mary! FYI I just saw Lucky Charms chapstick in the dollar spot at Target; flavor = marshmallow 🙂

    • mybigfathappylife says

      Thank you Joy! If your kids are like my daughter they definitely would enjoy 🙂
